Is there a way to track your time in Archicad?

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 13:30:25 GMT

I need a way to track time spent on projects. I have tried may different third party software but because Archicad is the only program that does not list project name in the main program window it only tracks the program by program name only and not project

If you use teamwork each project will have a log with sign-ins, sign-outs and notes. I don't remember the exact structure of the log (it's a plain text file) but it's probably reasonably easy to set up a database (or maybe an Excel macro) to import and sort the records.

Otherwise you will have to look for some software that tracks computer usage. There used to be some time tracking programs that would do this but I don't know if they're still around. Also, there must be some kind of spyware that you could use to spy on yourself.

Thanks for the quick reponse I apreciate your answers.
I do wish they would become more standard with all the other software so tracking job cost from one app would be so much easer. If you could run more than one project at one time I would understand but I have not found this to be the case.
It would also quickly let you know which project you are working on without jumping back to 2d drawing example working with two plans that are very similar.
