Hello,

Are you sure that the area that the area in question is placed on the desired level? And are you sure your libraries are properly related to your Archicad project?

Dots means a mistake about library

Yes zone stamp placed on correct level.
MISTAKE ABOUT A LIBRARY ? I have no error messages regarding the libraries.

Post has been moved.
Please don't just post everything in the 'Archicad+' section.
Please try to look for a relevant section for your posts.

As the message says, the top height is lower than the bottom height - which is technically not possible, hence the warning.

Check your zone heights and you will probably find the top is linked to a storey (and possibly offset from that storey as well), which is forcing the top to be below the storey you are placing it on.

Barry.

Barry, duly noted thanks.

FYI: resolution on the this thread :
- the problem above is due to me having used a file that was created in AC19.
- I copy and pasted info from it into an AC22 project.
- The classifications were all messed up as a result of this action.

Despite changing the height levels which had been inverted during the import (copy paste) the classifications in the stamp menu remained incomplete and were missing. The SETTINGS option in the pull down menu on the stamp tool was missing and this was causing the issue.

Solution :
To start a new project from scratch in AC22 and bring in the desired elements from the AC 19. Instead of starting with the AC19 file as a base and resaved in AC22.
