Add additional zone "names"

Anonymous

In AC20 (using the AUS ed.) the zone tool has a drop down list of room types beginning at "Storeroom" and ending at "Room". I'm not sure if i am missing something but can I edit this name list? I would like to set them up inside our template to suit our needs.

The zone stamp is a GDL object.
You could open the script and edit it there - the list should be in the Parameter script.
If not then the list may be in a MASTER_GDL file somewhere in your library.

However I would save it as an new object with a new name (not just a simple save) because if you ever update the Archicad library it will be replaced with a non-modified object.

This means you will need to tell all your zones to use a different zone stamp by changing it in the zone category settings.

Thank you both for your prompt responses and assistance.

For further reference to those that want to do the same with their zones, you can extract the macro by following this guide.
