Linking ArchiCAD objects to MS Project tasks?

[Anonymous]

Greetings all!

I seem to recall being told once that there was a way to link ArchiCAD objects to MS Project tasks, so that an animation could be created showing (for example) the construction sequence or phasing of the project. Today I've been search with no luck...

Can anyone advise on ways to do this?

If not, alternatives would be appreciated. Said alternatives would need to be cheap or use common software: I'm tutoring a design class on temporal design, and it to me that this process could be useful for the students - if only I could find a way to make it work!

Thanks for the clarification!

Putting "Construction Simulation" in the search tab of the standard ArchiCAD 11 Help yields no result, and putting it in Google suggests an expensive program from Synchro:

I've downloaded the Goodies, and will give it a try this evening. Hopefully it's not too hard, or maybe I can find some instructions now that I've got the proper add-on program...

Thanks!
