Display different zone data in different plan views with the same scale

Hello, I'm trying to display different zone tag information on different plan views. For example I have floor finish information on the floor plan but in a reflected ceiling plan, I still want to display the room name but without the floor finish information. Is this possible without changing the scale of the plans?

I thought that is the reason zone labels were invented, so they can be on layers that are turned on and off as required for different view types.

is there not a zone label setting that works for your different requirements?

I use this which is brilliant and sounds to be exactly what you require.

Exactly correct.

Use zone labels, not zone stamps.

You can place one zone label automatically with the zone, but you can add as many extra labels as you want, even in sections.

The Zone Label can definitely be used for this too but results in loads of additional layers being created to control their visibility and multiple labels having to be placed. Where the stamp is controlled through Model View Options you can globally apply the settings per view without having to duplicate layers or place additional elements. You can also control the visibility of content within the Zone Stamp based on filters such as renovation status or any other Property.

For me the zone labels will work great, I have layers set up already for specific views like floor plans and reflected ceiling plans so that will work well with my current system. Thank you
