Zone Stamps

Anonymous — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:38:17 GMT

I get a missing item when loading rel. 11,
zone stamp 2 is missing

When I go to add zone stamps to any area , the box does not appear only the area and name. Also the area calculator in the drop down dialogue box has no numbers in them.

Please help

My guess it that you first opened a 11-project and after that a new 12-project. AC will keep the latest zone in its memory. To fix it, start a new 12 file again or select the correct zone in options/element attributes/zone categories.

I have exactly the same problem as you Ischaug! but for me it doesnt show the area, just the name! This is highly annoying as I need to calculate some areas urgently!! Let me know if you find a solution!!

Larry and Camilla,

There is such a problem that sometimes a Zone Stamp is reported missing. But if you reload the libraries the error message disappears.

If your Zone Stamp does not have a Frame (I guess this is what you mean by Box), that is dependent on the Zone Stamp and how it is written in GDL. Some Zone Stamps have Frames, some don't. So maybe you have to choose another Zone Stamp for your Zone Categories if there is no Frame parameter in the list of parameters of your Zone Stamp.

A screenshot would be helpful from both of you.

Hi! My archicad is in Italian so I hope you can help me anyway.
In the first screen pic it says "missing library elements" and one of the things that is missing is Zone stamps.
I put the second screen image to show how it doesnt even calculate the area anymore. It also doesnt allow me to show what I want to be put in the box: Zone name, area, height of room, etc.

I re-loaded my libraries but it doesnt seem to make any difference.
Thanks!

If you go to the Options\Element Attributes\Zone Categories Dialog and check what Zone Stamp library part you Zones use, and the one they are using is missing then what you need to do is find the GSM object and make sure it is included in your loaded libraries.
Does this same thing happen if you start a brand new Project based on the ArchiCAD Template file?
