How to Simulate Construction Sequences and Phasing in Twinmotion
Discover how to create 4D construction phasing simulations and sequences in Twinmotion! In this tutorial, IMAGINiT expert Ramsey Sufian walks you through the entire process of transforming a static 3D model into a dynamic, animated construction timeline. This tutorial is perfect for VDC professionals and project managers who want to visualize project schedules, identify potential issues, and create compelling presentations for clients and stakeholders. Simulating phasing helps you communicate project intent clearly, win over stakeholders, and optimize construction logistics before ground is even broken. It’s an invaluable tool for visualizing build progress across weeks or months—especially useful in pitches, proposals, and preconstruction meetings. In this video, you will learn to: • Import models from Revit using the UDATASMITH workflow. • Set up a realistic site environment with custom terrain and landscapes. • Utilize the Phasing tool to create a step-by-step construction sequence. • Add and animate construction vehicles like excavators, trucks, and cranes. • Apply in-progress materials (like plywood) to show different stages of construction. • Enhance your scene with realistic lighting, backgrounds, and environments.
