Grids

Patterns allow coloured areas to be added in the background of the Time-Location schedule.

They are used to highlight specific periods or areas of the project in order to improve the readability of the schedule.

Patterns can be applied:

  • in time
  • in space (distance)

Time patterns highlight specific periods in the schedule.

They are commonly used to display:

  • weekends
  • non-working periods
  • specific calendar periods
  • regular time cycles

Two configuration modes are available.


This mode creates a repeated pattern based on a regular time interval.

For example:

  • every week
  • every month
  • every day

The main parameters are:

  • Pattern colour
  • Interval (e.g. every week)
  • Snap to patterns
  • Pattern scope (distance or entire period)

This mode is particularly useful for representing regular time cycles.


It is also possible to create patterns based on the calendar settings.

This mode can be used, for example, to display:

  • working periods
  • non-working periods
  • weekends

These patterns make the schedule easier to read by highlighting working and non-working periods.


Distance patterns allow coloured areas to be added along the geographical axis of the project.

Three types of patterns can be used.


This mode creates a repeated pattern based on a regular distance interval.

For example:

  • every kilometre
  • every 500 metres

The main parameters are:

  • pattern colour
  • interval
  • marker origin

This mode is useful for creating regular visual references along the project.


The rectangular pattern allows you to define a rectangular area manually within the schedule.

This area is defined by:

  • a start chainage
  • an end chainage
  • a start date
  • an end date

This type of pattern is particularly useful to:

  • represent a work zone
  • identify a construction phase
  • highlight a sensitive project area

Patterns can also be created using the project sectors.

Patterns can then be applied directly to:

  • sections
  • structures
  • work areas
  • key points

This allows specific parts of the project to be quickly visualised in the Time-Location schedule.


When several patterns are active, their priority can be defined using the options:

  • Time
  • Distance

This priority determines which pattern is displayed first when they overlap.
