6 Systems Worksets Elements Spatial structure Project structure tools Building Explorer View, select and change visibility of model elements broken down by Create selection set: Manually - by selecting elements in the viewer Smart selections sets - using queries Selection sets can be organized into selection set folders. Selection sets palette contain options for grouping elements into selection sets Selection sets Visibility of elements included in particular selection set can be controlled from this palette Level map Contains options for easy navigation between different buildings and building levels. Current camera position can be easily controlled by moving the navigation circle in the level map. categories then by families. buildings, building levels, categories and families currently selected elements are highlighted with yellow color systems, categories and families. worksets, categories and families.

7 QTO and Color coding Click on Add Breakdown Button to show drop down panel Set Color Coding Rule Button Enables setting custom coloring based on selected grouping properties. When turned on elements included in the QTO shall be presented color coded in the 3D Color Coded View. Clicking on the button New opens the drop down menu. Choose preferable option (Blank Quantity Takeoff ) to start Create Quantity Takeoff window. In this window various QTO quantification, creation and grouping options are available. You can choose a predefined properties such as Category, Source, Material, etc., as well as other model element properties in form of Discrete properties or Continuous properties. Quantity Takeoff Enabling Quantity Takeoff tab allows creation and presentation of custom quantity takeoffs from any available model elements. 3D Color Coded View Viewer Mode When 3D Color coded view is enabled you can choose Quantity takeoff viewer mode in order to see QTO elements color coded as you set in the QTO color coding rule Edit Quantity Takeoff Clicking on the button Edit opens Edit Quantity Takeoff window. This window is almost identical in features as Create QTO window and enables additional editing of already created grouping options, color coding and quantification options. Export QTO Report Exports the selected QTO into *.xlsx file format. Prior to the export, various exporting options are available in the presented export window.

8 Schedule Editor Schedule Import Enables import of Primavera or MS Project schedule files in *.xml format. Schedule Export Enables export of created schedules into *.xml files fully compatible with other planning software such as Primavera, MS Project etc. Schedule Editor Logic preview Enables custom schedule creation and editing in the form of visual logic relations. Clicking the Pop Out button stretches the logic view window to a full screen size.

Schedule Animation Task Display Schedule Animation Animation Display Displays schedule activities visible in the schedule viewer during construction simulation. These are grouped by tasks on the left side of the window. On the right side, a progress bar and percentages of completion along with data regarding total cost of the activity and completed cost on the date are presented. Displays schedule animation tools for creation of custom schedule video. These tools enable options such as saving multiple schedule videos and camera movement during animation. Each video can be made by custom camera positioning (key frames) during schedule simulation shown on the right schedule animation window area. Export Schedule Animation Enables export of the created schedule animation into image sequence in order to create video. Available various options such as setting image size and format, exporting custom frames and overriding visual settings. Export of stereoscopic image sequence in order to create stereoscopic video is also available.
