The Labels in the D3 Smart Parts Library/Real Doors & Windows v. 3.14/RD&W Labels allows you to show them in plan, section, elevation and the 3D window. If this is what you're looking for, no info connection to the doors and windows of course.

Thank you, for your answer, but how do you do in simple archicad?

Don't believe that you can do that, at least not with my libraries. Only thing that you COULD do is the copy-paste thing (you will need to explode the window in order to be able to copy the tag). Or else insert a separate tag on the elevation. But I don't believe it can be done automatically in plain AC.

Thanks, but someone from Italy told me that it can be done if you add in the scrip of the door a couple of lines.

I thought you meant just plain vanilla AC without doing anything to it. In your case, you probably should've posted it to the Libraries/ Library Parts/ GDL forum area since you're looking to modify the door/window GDL blocks. You'll get better help there.

Or maybe the moderator will just move it for you.

At the beginning of my question I didn't know that the problems was regarding the GDL, this way I post my question in this Forum, perhaps you are right, now I need to move my question some other forum, and ask for more help

The easy approach is to use the Label Tool, and click the "Label Element" box for each elevation you want to the window/door labeled in.

Tom,

can you tell me a little more about how to do that? I know to use the labels but i can't quite get the hang of this.
