Mirroring Zones and their stamps!

Anonymous — Fri, 19 May 2023 21:56:55 GMT

Hi, I am having massive problems mirroring zones stamps and getting them to be perfectly mirrored.The project I am working on is an apartment complex where many of the apartments are perfect copies but mirrored (So I have each apartment saved as a hotlink and then intend to mirror the hotlink). I have put zones with stamps into rooms and everything works fine in the original hotlink but once mirrored, some of the stamps just go haywire. I thought it had something to do with the zone's reference/origin point but I have tried rearranging those ad nauseam. The solution I have used until now is making a manual textbox with the zone information so that I can manipulate it as I want, but being able to use those heckin' zone stamps shouldnt be this hard!

Is there anyone who has a solution for this?

Try to integrate your zones in modules rather than in the master file.
The zones of each repeated module can easily be:
- be moved in X, Y and Z
- receive a symmetry
- to be modified in the master register by SOE
- dissociated in a nomenclature

Hi, thanks for the reply! But the zones are in the module/hotlink file. the picture was just an example. So If I have an apartment hotlink with zones and just want to mirror the hotlink, some of the zone stamps don't mirror correctly, everything else in the hotlink mirrors fine. I will put a picture here. As you can see some of the zone stamps are mirroring correctly but the "Bod" one and the "Stue/kjøkken" one aren't. (The Right hotlink is the original in this case and the left one is the mirrored hotlink)

Ok
Don't use automatic zone please
I don't use it any more because of the weird stamp they create !
It's not a real solution but don't use automatic stamp and all will be fine

I remember having this issue a while back, but I cannot remember what I actually did to solve it... have you tried changing the text alignment?

Thanks for the replies, but the issue persists even if I have manually placed the zones. I have attached an image and I have tried many different things. I am no closer to figuring out a solution. And changing the text alignment in zone stamps is not possible (I think).

Did you use a new version of Archicad between the beginning of your project and today ?
One of my customers had this problems by using AC22 then following with AC21 by saving a previous pln version
Can you check if you are using a favorite zone about a previous Archicad or something like that ?
Can you verify with a all new zone without any personal parameter ?

Text alignment can be found under the default stamps settings. Though it appears to not cause your issue with my mirrored stamps...

Hey Christophe. I believe this was the problem. The project was started in Archicad 21 and I have migrated it over to Archicad 22 and the stamps that I have been re-using from the AC21 version were the ones that were misbehaving. I tried to make absolutely new stamps instead of reusing old ones and the mirroring works. Now I need to change the old stamps to new and it should be alright!

Thanks so much for spending time to help me with this!
