Thank you.

There are actually two different Trial versions of Lumion. I would recommend testing Lumion 8.3 Pro Trial instead - it's valid for 7 days and includes the full model library:

Regarding your question, there aren't a lot of models for construction work/sites in the Lumion model library.

You can check out all of the models here:

Knowledge Base article: Which models are available in the Model Library?

To get started, I would recommend searching for some suitable construction site models at:

External link: 3D Warehouse.

As for showing the model at different stages in a phasing animation, I would recommend moving the various parts of the model to different Layers and using the 'Layer Visibility' effect in Lumion 8.3 Pro Trial to show/hide Layers:



You could also consider using the 'Move', 'Advanced Move' and 'Sky Drop' effects to make the various parts of the model appear in an animation:







Hope this is enough to get you started.
