Zones with Automatic Car parking numbers

Anonymous — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 07:39:40 GMT

Hi, I don't know if this post should be here but, is there a way to have a zone or a label that automaticaly writes the number of car spaces that it is on that zone??

I think you can achieve this with schedules (i.e. extract information from objects placed in zones). Not sure if you could get it done in a zone stamp, but on your layout you could place the schedule as a work-around.

If not, you have a parametric parking space object with numbering on it In Visualization/Site Improvements/Park and Street

Thank you guys, but I was really looking for a embeded function on the zone or label.

Are you looking for one that counts the number of vehicles in the zone or one that can return the number of cars possible to park in the zone based on area calcs?

I am looking for a Label or Zone that counts the number of vehicles in the zone.

I don't think this is possible short of creating an add-on. It seems the closest solution would be a schedule.

As a workaround, you can use the object I made some time ago, in the depository->01 general->graphic symbols-> Multi-Group-Sequential-numberer.

Made it after working on a six-level-parking building with 600+ parking spaces. Not that many, but when the client wants them numbered from 1 to 600+ and the layout keeps changing, numbering can take quite a time, even using the parking objects from the library.

Check it out. Just place it and drag the hotspots. Adjust the number of parking groups you need to number and then all you need to do is adjust points. Since it can show the total number of spaces per object, you can drag that text and place it in the zone stamp. It won't be part of the zone stamp, but it will update if you adjust the object.

Hope it helps with your problem.
