Version-controlled sequences

Roll forward or back across simulation states with full metadata and visual diff views for precise timeline editing.

When refining a construction sequencing simulation, moving between design iterations or staged approvals often requires comparing time-bound states. The Sandbox stores each simulation state as an immutable checkpoint, tagged with descriptive notes and metadata like author, date, and linked model version. Users can branch timelines to test alternate phasing without disrupting the main sequence, enabling safe experimentation and side-by-side review.

Visual diff views highlight temporal deltas directly in the timeline—such as shifted activity durations, reorganized dependencies, or relocated heavy equipment paths—so teams quickly identify impact zones. These comparisons support not just visual differences but attribute-level changes: start times, resource assignments, and constraint modifications all surface in a clear, linear diff interface, eliminating guesswork in stakeholder discussions.

Integrating with Revit and Rhino models ensures that timeline shifts automatically reflect upstream geometry updates, reducing manual rework. Branching and merging capabilities mirror modern DevOps practices, allowing multidisciplinary teams to test critical path changes in isolation while maintaining a clean, auditable main sequence. This structured approach minimizes simulation drift and supports lean decision-making across design phases.
