Timeline & Project Planning

Timeline / Animated Build Timeline

Scrub through each construction step, play animations, and understand how the model is assembled.

The Build Timeline animates how Autostrek expects you to assemble the structure—perfect for onboarding crews, explaining scope to clients, or stress-testing the order of operations.

Interface basics

  • The timeline lives at the bottom of the viewport once a project is generated.
  • Each step represents a construction action (e.g., “Frame east wall” or “Set rafters”).
  • Use the “Add plan step” control to feed the Project Planner as you review each phase.

Playback controls

  1. Use Play/Pause to animate sequentially; adjust speed with the slider.
  2. Scrub freely by dragging the head along the timeline.
  3. Bookmark key steps using the ⭐ icon to highlight them in PDFs and the Project Planner.

Map steps to the field

Label steps with manpower notes (“Requires 3 people”) or equipment reminders (“Boom truck on site”). Those annotations carry into the Project Planner so nothing gets lost.
