Show window area in zone stamp

[Jose Gradoli]

I’m trying to display the surface area of windows (and doors) in a zone stamp, but I can’t manage to do it because it doesn’t appear as an option. I’ve created custom properties that I know are working, since they show correct values in the schedules. I’m attaching screenshots to help illustrate the issue.

Is there any method to achieve this?

Does seem like door and window areas, door width and number of elements for the zone, for example, won't be shown in a label (they do work on the zone stamp).

The only expression based property from the generic template I get to work is 'Dynamic ID by classification', which of course is a pretty straightforward expression compared to looking up the size of connected windows, for example.

@Jose Gradoli Hi! I think a workaround would be mapping via ifc translator that property. Then you can call to ifc properties in the zone label.

Hah, yes, that does seem to work - so strange that this will work and querying it directly from properties would be disabled.

thanks for the info, but, where can I find info about idc translator??

Here's the Help article on mapping Archicad data to IFC properties:

You also need to make sure, that the IFC translator setting you edit is set as the preview:

Hi Jose Gradoli,

You may use the zone stamp of the zone tool rather than the zone label for this the zone label has that option.

You'll have to activate the zone stamp in the model view options where you need it.

And to set the zone stamp to display the window or the door area.

Thanks BrunoH, it works perfectly. I prefer labels because I can put them into favorites, erase them etc.. With that options all the stamps are shown but editing the stamp with only custom text (in blank) there is no stamp .

ppumares1, thanks for the solution, but I think it's too complex for me. I've been stuck for hours making a custom property with logic expression. That ind of translation is too much for me at this point.

@Jose Gradoli Ok! Good job.

Anyway, ifc property it's not so difficult, I understand you about zone stamps... If you want to try in the future, here are some screenshots:

Ciao!
