Timeliner

TimeLiner brings your shipbuilding project to life by allowing you to animate the construction sequence using the 3D ship model.

TimeLiner adds a new dimension of realism to 3D model data with links to project tasks to effectively visualise construction schedules. TimeLiner makes 4D construction simulation easy, affordable and accessible. TimeLiner offers all key project stakeholders a clear common understanding of the design intent, construction plan and current status.


TimeLiner extends the value of an investment in both 3D design and project planning software. A schedule sequence can be run continuously for an overview or stepped through to show the project at particular points. Real-time navigation is supported during the simulation to enhance exploration.


TimeLiner is ideal for presenting a simulation of the construction sequence to project team, senior management and clients. It is simple to export individual images or full simulations as AVI movies.


Task schedules can be created in TimeLiner or imported from a variety of project management applications to eliminate the need for dual data entry. TimeLiner is compatible with Microsoft Project™, Primavera P3™ and  many others.


TimeLiner controls the geometry or objects that are seen using selection and dynamic search sets, with colour and transparency control functionality linked to time based settings. The TimeLiner interface is uncomplicated and easy to use. Links between the model and the schedule can be created both manually or using rules to automatically map tasks to items or layers in the model.
