Can a Zone show both m2 and ft2?

KenMcN — Fri, 19 May 2023 21:57:33 GMT

We need to provide floor plans showing areas in both square meters and square feet, does anyone know if it is possible to customise a zone stamp to do this?

If there is a way to take the measured area in m2 and multiply it by 10.764 then display that (adding "sq ft" to the end), that would be fine, but I can't find a way to multiply an area within Archicad.

All help gratefully received,
Kenny

The attatched works for property calculations - you should be able to steal the script and add it to any stamp you prefer to use.

Have a look at this zone object, Randy. You can try the demo and see if it works for you.

Visap that one looks a bit more sophisticated than mine and would work
for the zones that KenMcN requires
Mine has the code that could be made into a stamp that would satisfy KenMcN
if he wanted to create his own. In either case the answer to the subject
is yes.

No worries Randy. I too made a mistake by addressing that post to you instead of Ken.
