Show X & Y dimensions of zone tool in plan view..

Good afternoon team,

Is there a way of showing the X and Y dimensions of a zone? I cant seem to use associative text label in plan view and the zone stamp tool doesn't have this option. AC22

Do you know of a way of doing this?

Of course, I can create GDL objects based on specific requirements. A Zoom call would benefit further development; however, I believe my object already includes what you need. I didn't cover all the settings in the video explanation.

That’s really cool but I am happy to write my internal room sizes with text inside my zone stamp for now.

 

Really the zone tool or a fill object could actually be scripted to do what you have done and be available right OOTB for everyone.

 

All the best with your GDL tool.

Okay, whatever works for you. All the best to you as well.👍

I think this is a great contribution and would be grateful for an added feature in either the zone tool or your accessory that would include the option to simply add room dimensions under the zone name and number. The room tag would simply read something like: "Bedroom / 201 / 11 x 18", or "Bedroom / 11 x 18". The zone tool has many options that I don't need, and few of the ones that are simple and practical...like overall room dimensions rounded to the nearest inch.
