Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Planners,

I have an activity (let’s say its activity ‘A’) within my P6 plan that will take 6 hours to complete and has a fixed start date and time. In carrying out this task, no other activity can be progressed. I need to make this visible in the P6 plan by setting the work hours for activity ‘A’ on the day as ‘Nonwork ‘. Alternatively, I could set the whole day, but that will portray a false impact on the schedule duration.

Who has got an idea? Thanks

Could you not just make Activity A a predecessor of all other activities?

If you try and do it with calendars, what happens if Activity A is delayed?
