You can use the
Project Status Visualization tool to review the task schedules created in
Task manager.
In this example, you will first create object groups to define which tasks are shown in the model. The object groups are related to the current
Task manager scenario. You will then create object representation settings to define how the tasks are shown in the model. Finally, you will review the task schedule using the
Project Status Visualization tool.
-
Create object groups for tasks:
-
In
Tekla Structures, go to the
View tab and click
Representation.
-
Click
Object group....
-
In the
Object Group - Representation dialog box, create an object group with the following settings:
-
Enter a name for the group, for example
Completed, in the box next to the
Save as button, and then click
Save as.
-
Repeat steps 1c - d to create an object group called
Started. Use the following settings:
-
Repeat steps 1c - d to create an object group called
NotStarted. Use the following settings:
-
Repeat steps 1c- d to create an object group called
All. Use the following settings:
-
Click
Close.
-
Create object representation settings for tasks:
-
In the
Object Representation dialog box, select the object group
Completed from the list in the
Object group column.
-
In the
Color column, select a color for the object group, for example blue.
-
In the
Transparency column, select a transparency setting for the object group, for example
Visible.
-
Click
Add row to add a new row.
-
Repeat steps 2a – d to define the color and transparency settings for the other object groups (Started,
NotStarted, and
All).
For example, you can use the following settings:
Enter a name for the object representation settings, for example
Tasks, and then click
Save as.
-
Click
OK.
-
Review the task schedule using
Project Status Visualization:
-
In
Tekla Structures, go to the
Manage tab and click
Project status.
-
Select
Tasks from the
Object representation list.
-
Click the step buttons to change the
Review date and to view the changes in the model.
