For example, you may choose not to display the time of day or you may choose to display only the year without the month and day. Though each date is stored as a very precise moment in time, it is often more appropriate to show a general time format. Therefor, start by choosing a date format that includes the precision you wish to capture and then enter your dates using this same format. If you enter a date that does not match the date format specified by an event, you will get an error message. The text you enter will be validated according to the date format you select. Timeline 3D includes several preset date formats in addition to date formats based on the localized date settings you have chosen using the International panel in System Preferences. There are many different date formats used all over the world. For example, if you enter “2011 CE” then the date is stored at the first second of January 1, 2011. This date stored by the software is stored at the beginning of the time period you specify.

When dates and times are entered as text, the software interprets the text as a precise moment in time. Any date that you enter or import is translated to a precise date and the event layout is based on this date.
