Zone Label with suffix CH for ceiling height

Hi Everyone,

I have been trying to figure out how to show CH for the suffix for ceiling heights for the zone tool. I have tried to play around with the zone labelling tool but can't seem to figure a way out.

In the Zone labelling tool under content, it has ceiling height and ceiling height prefix. I have set the ceiling height prefix to CH but it is not showing on the label when placed. See attached 02 Zone photo

I have attached a text example (03 Text example for how i want to display ceiling height) of how I want to show the ceiling height. which I need to display as follows: CH 3000.

I have also tried to use the text/autotext but in the general parameters for heights it shows in meters but I need it to show in mm. This was suggested in the post https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Change-suffix-of-Zone-value/m-p/600738#M63603

Operating system used: Windows 3001

There is a setting to display data with 'Prefix & Value'.

Thanks, Barry. Is there also a way to hide the "mm" at the end?

I don't see any option to control the display of the units.

Hi @shir_khann,

If you want to show (CH) for ceiling height Prefix you can show zone stamp from model view options, If you like to adjust different zone stamp's display settings for different scales you can do that as in my case, I chose uniform display settings.

Thank you, Mahmoud, this was very helpful but I don't seem to have the "show dimension units in my settings.

I can find it in my 26 INT version, I'm sorry for that but you can create a wish for this function to be added in next Archicad versions.

It might be dependent on the zone stamp you are using.

They will all have different settings.

What zone stamp are you using?

Zone Stamp 01 does not seem to have an option to show hide units, but Zone Stamp 02 does.

You were right Barry. I was using Zone Stamp 01. I had set up my Name tag in Zone Stamp 01 in the ROOM_NAME strings under Script "Master" but there is no option to do this for Zone Stamp 02 in the Master unfortunately.
