The Timeline, located at the bottom of the screen, provides an intuitive way to view and navigate all Milestones within a Scenario across different phases of work: editing the site plan, creating the presentation, and viewing the presentation. It also serves as the central interface for creating and editing presentation Slides, adjusting Presentation settings, and launching Presentation Mode.
In this article we cover:
Site plan navigation mode
Site plan navigation mode is the default mode in which users edit the Scenario—add Resources, create Annotations, etc. Site plan navigation mode can be activated by clicking the tower crane icon in the lower-left corner (1).
