Checking Distance to Project Origin via Archicad Label?

Rollmops — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 09:26:26 GMT

Hi everyone, you can check the orthogonality of objects using an Archicad label. Would it also be possible to build a label that checks the distance to the project origin? For example, whether a wall is located within 5mm accuracy from the project origin. This would allow finding inaccurately placed elements.

Operating system used: Windows 11

Hi,

You can't place an autotext in the label to show coordinates but there is an object in the library that does this (display coordinates where you place it). unfortunately you can't make it associative.
