Microsoft Project import to Navoswork

Step 1: Develop a schedule in Microsoft Project

Step 2: Open Naviswork model in naviswork work space

Naviswork Model open Process:

Click on

Append – Open model location- Select all files from the drop down list to view your model- click on

open

Step 3: Click on Naviswork Timeliner

Step 4: To add microsoft project schedule following steps need to be followed

4.1 Click on Data sources

4.2 After that click on Add button

4.3 select microsoft project 2007-2010

4.4 Select the Microsoft Project source file

4.5 After opening the Microsoft Project file following screen will be shown

4.6 Now We have to select which information we need to import from Microsoft Project sheet. In the

previous screenshot you can see that there are two column. One column represents Naviswork

Timeliner information and the other column named External field names contains Microsoft project

data. We have to now link them through following way.

4.6.1 Now we have to link both data‘s. Through clicking on the right hand drop down menu we can

select the Microsoft project data.

4.8 After Refreshing you will find similar screen as shown in below and check mark on rebuild task

hierarchy and click on ok

4.9 As a result now all the Microsoft Project data has linked with Naviswork Timeliner and we will

find similar screen as shown below

5. Now our task is to develop 4D simulation. The steps are same as taking quantity. The steps has

explained below.

5.1 The first task on our Timeliner is to create foundation. Therefore we have to select all the

foundation model elements from the model.

5.2 After selecting the Foundation elements click on the Attached button on the time

Liner ribbon and select Attach Current Selection.

5.3 After attaching model elements on the Foundation task similar symbol will shown on the

attached bar in the ribbon.

5.4 Similar way we have to attcah all the model geometry on the each task. After that we will find a
