Preference to allow ArchiCAD sound JUST FOR TEAMWORK REQUESTS!

[Robert Nichols]

I am sure I will never set the current option for ArchiCAD sounds to "yes". A chime every time I option-click a wall??!!?? So I know that I option-clicked a wall? So I can be sure I have no friends left at the end of a charrette?

BUT - in our small office we are constantly telling each other that we have requested items via Teamwork.

I big improvement would be if you broke out a few critical Teamwork "alert" sounds from the rest of the non-alert sounds, so they could be controlled with their own dedicated user preference.

Thanks for listening.

Hello Robert Nichols,

"ALLOW ARCHICAD SOUND JUST FOR TEAMWORK REQUESTS !"
Great and probably easy to do !

I don't have speakers on my work pc so this feature would be useless for me, however, a visual notification in a separate tab would help a lot. I would move the whole teamwork box to a tab, it seems easier for me and saves some screen space, too.
Until then I just move the Teamwork notifications close to the info bar so at some point I will see them.

I haven't tried this so I don't know if this will work.

In the Archicad program folder you will see a SOUNDS folder.
In there are all the sound (WAV) files.

Maybe you could try renaming / moving / deleting the ones you don't want to here and leave just the two files starting with "ACTW" - I assume this means Archicad Team Work.

Yes - the visual notification mentioned above would be great. I would tolerate my whole window going 5% red for a fraction of a second!

Hello Barry,

I do not found any SOUNDS folder into macOS

Hi Christophe,
I have no idea where they are on a MAC, but these are the files in Windows.

Hello Barry,

On macOS here is what the Archicad 23 folder contains :


No sound folder
I've checked into the application libraries without success 😕

[Barry Kelly]

I am not familiar with MACs at all.
But I assume they are still .WAV files.
Can you do a search of the whole system to find them?
Or maybe they are in a hidden folder that can only be seen with the correct permissions?

Barry.
