How it works
1. Import your construction schedule
To get started, upload your Primavera P6 XER file to Sensat.
Your schedule file will then be uploaded and processed by Sensat.
2. View your schedule Gantt chart
Your schedule file will appear in the Layer manager along with your other project files.
To view the schedule press the Schedule button on in the top-right - note this button only appears once a valid XER file has been uploaded and processed.
The schedule Gantt chart will appear in a panel at the top of the screen.
3. Link your schedule to your BIM
Once you have uploaded your BIM models for each part of the sequence, simply "link" them to the relevant activities and dates in your schedule.
Once linked the models will take on the Start and End dates of the schedule item and only appear on the map when the correct time period is selected on the timeline.
4. 4D visualisation - walk through your sequence using smart jump
Once the Gantt chart and BIM models have been linked you can easily click through your timeline. The models will automatically appear on the map on the date specified by the Activity they are linked to.
The timeline highlights when changes are occurring on site, allowing users to quickly zoom in on the schedule and the 3D map to inspect the site for any potential issues and risks. Once identified, our commenting feature is the perfect tool for teams to flag and discuss resolutions.
