Repost: BIM Troublemaker: Schedule Simulation Using Phases - The Poor Man's 4D Timeliner
I ran across this post from the BIM Troublemaker when I was asked by a staff member if we could do 4D simulation in Revit. I normally do my 4D work in Navisworks, but if you have never worked with Timeliner, then that might not be the best choice. The project itself was also much simpler than the example below, so the suggestion as detailed below turned out to be a viable solution. Monday, November 19, 2012 Schedule Simulation Using Phases - The Poor Man's 4D Timeliner I have been doing alot of work lately providing supporting graphics for construction bids. Sometimes the rain-makers like to show potential clients the sequence of how the building/site will go together. Rarely do we have the time for a full 4d navis works animation with cranes and all that. Actually having adequate documentation to support such an effort is even less likely! I came up with this B.S. modelling approach based upon a presentation by Aaron Maller at AU 2011 about phases, links, g...
