Single or Multiple Calendars for NEC3 Option A contract

A
Andrew Raw 👤 Member for 18 years 11 months

Dear all,

I'm working on a construction contract where the client are insisting the contract programme should have one calendar. The clients planner has even suggested that the NEC contract requires it to be this way. Has anyone come across this in the NEC as I can not find anywhere calendars are discussed?

My main problem is that I represent the Civils contractor and during the summer months we would normally work 6 days a week 10-12 hrs a day. The default calendar would be 40hrs 5 days a week.

Error opening WP & Docs after Adobe update

K
K D 👤 Member for 14 years 2 months

Hi all,

I am using P6 (v 7.0) and have links to pdf drawings / specs (stored in shared drive) under WP & Docs. I was able to launch all drawings till recently but soon after an Adobe update I get error message saying P6 is unable to find the program that opens it.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:1027:]]

I can still open the drawings as normal outside of P6 but when I try launching it from P6 I keep getting the error message. Can I somehow assign the default program for P6 to open pdf drawings? ...something like "open with"... Any pointers would be appreciated.

Retained Logic & Progress Override

Hi all planners,

I was studying Retained Logic and Progress Override options in P6. And understood well about Retained Logic also I understood that the result under Progress Override are not realistic. Then, the question raised that if the results are not realistic then why this option is there in the P6?, also what is the difference between “Retained Logic” and “Actual Dates” I am sure there lot of experienced planners who can satisfy me.

Cheers
