Zone Stamp Position

Anonymous

Hi, Is there any way to have a zone stamp in different position depending on the view? or turning the stamp off by MVO and then adding a stamp like a label?

It would probably be possible for Zone Stamps (being GDL Objects) to react to MVO settings. Part of this could be to be offset in both the X and Y direction by a certain amount when a certain MVO setting is active.

However, Labels cannot be placed for Zones since it is Zone Stamps that display such information about Zones. Labels are not coded to be able to do that.

Ok, well, I'll do a wish on that, I found out that Master Script have a zone stamp that is view dependent. This will be nice to have in Archicad.
Thanks Laszlonagy!

We use Masterscript's Total Zone stamp pretty much exclusively in our firm, and it works great! For the price (which is per site, not per station), I can't recommend it enough. It can appear differently in all of your plan drawings based on a special MVO panel, including changing the size, location, frame, information, font, color, etc. of the stamp. This is not based on scale, like the built-in stamps. There are lots of extra Parameters, internal occupancy calculation, and even some neat database reference functions (which we haven't used much).

The only drawback is that Total Zone hasn't been updated in a while, and I don't think Masterscript is actively developing their ArchiCAD parts anymore. Therefore, it doesn't recognize IFC Parameters or new AC20 Properties. I will poke them to see if that could be added.
