Do you mean the regular time? The one you have displayed in the Windows task bar.
Although there are plenty of clock utilities, I understand that your problem would be to have it visible within the Sketchup main window.
It is of course a possibility

Yes, the one and the same. I use auto-hide for my taskbar so that I have a little more real estate to view SU on, it would be very convenient to have current time and the time used in the same window rather than having to mouse down to the taskbar. Just a thought. If I'm the only one requesting this, don't bother, a truly minor issue.

Great Plugin!
For some reason the clock window comes out cropped on my computer. Can't resize it though maximize works.
Thanks!!
-
Maybe the inverse will be fun !
Say you have just 10 minutes for make something in Su!
A ring bells when 10 minutes inside SU effective are elapsed!
Surfing internet is of course out of the count!

I know there is a problem, which I need to fix.
Are you on Vista or Windows 7, and which IE browser do you have?Fred

Thank you, again, Fredo.

I do kind of like the idea of an alarm the user can set for the overall project (or maybe even a model file) when X hours has been attained.
It would help to stay within a project's budgeted hours or within a budget hours for phase/task for a project.

John,
Would it be OK if I change the background of the clock (say to Red) to indicate that the time is over the limit (the limit will be set in the dialog box)?

A nice idea. What ever is the easiest to implement.
Alternative idea. One cirle. Green for well within budgeted hours, Yellow (or blinking yellow) for close maximum budget (ie., 2 hours), Red for over limit.

When exporting to CSV for opening with Excel, Excel doesn't recognize the day dates in their current format which is:
"Tue 03 May"
I think it recognizes dd.mm.yy or dd.mm.yyyy or dd.mmm.yyyy etc. or with a / - dd/mm/yy or even the backward American way which is mm.dd.yy.
Anyone of those formats, preferable the first and second would be great!On the other hand the month column is recognized OK.
great great plugin!

If I'm working on several sketchup models at the same time which are all linked to the same project, might there be any time syncing problems?
-
too bad I've bought "time track" long ago. Thanks for this great script!!!

In principle, this should work.
I am interested in your feedback however if you find issues. Just remember that activity is tracked on events, not on focus, i.e. when you use interactive SU Tools or scripts.Fredo

NEW RELEASE: SUCLOCK 1.1b - 19 May 11
This small update just adds an extra column with the date formatted in Excel compliant format (dd-mm-yyyyy) for the CSV export of the view by Day/Month. This fixes a problem mentioned by Halroach.
Update is published in main post.

nice! -

I was wondering what the capabilities were for employees. could this be installed on an employee's computer to track his time? and I know it could. but could it be a protected file? how would you know that no one had edited the file for time tracked? if someone sends me their file will it show the clock on it and how much time has been used?
just thinking outloud... and as I have said before, fantastic plugin Fredo...
-
Fredo, thank you. Ben

For all those times when you worked hard on a model but forgot to track the time you've spent on it... and really wished you had...
You could have a little check in the plugin preferences to 'track time for untitled projects'.
This would generally eliminate all time spent with Sketchup, that is unaccounted for. great for spying too when you think about it...a step further could be to have an option to rename the untitled time/projects in retrospect and assign that time to an existing or new project.
What do you think?
-
Just thought of another use.
At my modeling and rendering department, we generally tend to share the work on models between us. It would be nice to have a worker ID or computer ID which would be assigned for each time track.
Then we could see how much time each of us spent on the same project.I really like this plugin!
