Automatic width and height measurements on floorplan

Chris Appleby

Hey guys,

 

New user here. 

I want to set up a zone that displays the x and y dimensions (rather than just the area).

Has anyone done this and can help me out?

 

Thanks,
Chris

Hi @Chris Appleby 

 

Search for a 2D object named Room Name and Size Label 19; it is from bimcomponents.com.

Draw a rectangle, and the object will give you both dimensions and optionally the name of the room. It's a manual process, but you can still use it over the default Archicad zone stamp independently. It's not a big deal, but it might work for you.

The Zone Marker from the 3rd party 4D Library has a bounding box which you can adjust to list the length and width of a room. Unsure if @Ben Cohen has made a Zone Label that does the same thing. The issue with this is that rooms and in-turn Zones are not always rectangular...
