BerndSchwarzenbacher — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 18:47:57 GMT

Hi!

You can find more information and downloads here: https://bschwb.com/add-ons/top-stamp/

The label is automatically summing the areas of rooms in one apartment.
Check the following animation for this core functionality:

Some of the most important features:

Compatible with Teamwork - Looking for feedback here if it works correctly for you!
Works across stories
Customizable Stamp
Compatible with all Archicad Language Versions
Add-On Interface available in English (INT) and German (AUT)
Compatible with Archicad 25 & Archicad 26

Price and v1.0 Release
I'm planning to Release the v1.0 version of this Add-Ons end of August.
Until then, the price will be reduced to EUR 50 per seat for Early-Adopters.
There will probably be more hookups for users until the v1.0 release.
On the other hand you can influence the direction of the Add-On with your feedback!

Live TOP-Stamp v0.10

Place the TOP-Stamp now directly via the Label Tool.
Choose 'Live TOP-Stamp' as the Label Type and click in your plan.
Alternatively you can also click on a room and the TOP-Stamp will use the Apartment ID of this room!

Check the video for a short demonstration:

Live TOP-Stamp v0.13 - Archicad Add-On

A new version of my 'Live TOP-Stamp' Add-On is available here: https://bschwb.com/add-ons/top-stamp

Check this video for a demonstration of the new functionalities:

Most important Improvements:
I've included a palette, which lists rooms and TOP-Stamps with wrong areas.

When rooms are split (with the axe), their areas are inconsistent (this is a known Archicad issue).
So the Add-On adds them to the list of wrong rooms.
This feature should lead to less surprises in the TOP-Stamp areas due to inconsistent room areas.
To fix the wrong areas, use the "Update zones..." Archicad command.

2. If TOP-Stamps can't update for any reason, they are added to the list of wrong stamps.
Those errors can be fixed with the 'Update All TOP-Stamps' Button in the palette.

For questions and feedback you can always answer here or send me a mail.

Hi! Thank you for doing this, is very useful add on. Only thing is not clear to me, is the option of the label to be linked to "Apartment ID". I don´t find an Apartment ID option in the zones I have in my project, so if I want to have several apartments in one plan, the Label Add-on would collect and sum all the zones that are in the project. I guess if I can select which zones correspond to which apartment then it should work right.

Hi! You have to use "Zone Stamp 02" from the Archicad Library. It's the only stamp that supports that Apartment ID property.
Here is the corresponding option highlighted in that stamp:

Zone Labels are not compatible yet unfortunately. For other Zone Stamps there is also the option to extend them with the appropriate parameter stApartmentId in case you are familiar with GDL.

Best,
Bernd
