Weather window - adding the resource

I am trying to add a weather window to the normal winter shutdown.  In PRA, this is accomplished by adding a resource defined in the Weather Modeling module.  My question,  is there a global change in P6 8.1 or a macro in PRA 8.7.2 that will do this?  I am currently doing a sort on a resource, then adding the 'Winter' resource, copying that cell and doing a fill-down.  Then repeating for each resource.  It is functional, but tedious.  Any suggestions welcome.  Thanks.

Primavera P6 Critical Analysis

R
Rhys Parry 👤 Member for 14 years 8 months

Hello

I have a plan in P6 version 2 and after updating activity % and my Expense % Complete to match then schdulling it the end date for the enture project plan went from for example 12 october to 12 november.

I don't know why this has slipped so much as I was thinking it could be to do with some of the Level of Effort activities I have.

Any Ideas guys (can I do a timeline of events to see why the dates have changed so much)

Thanks

PRA 8.6: Why do Oppty Hammocks cause zero TF?

 

Background:  PRA V8.7, using opportunities within the risk register of PRA

My PM wants an explaination why an activity (that contains an oppty node) with 1.5yrs probilistic float has a
100% critical index. From what I can see it is the hammock off the Oppty node
with zero total float causing it.

Is there a valid reason why this happens?

Thanks in advance,

Kevin
