I am trying to make Zone stamp that display the name of the room, the number of the room and also the floor where that room is, preferably as a prefix before the room number. My guess is that in the settings of the zone stamp, I should click on the "show classification and properties", but I don´t find any option to display the story.
I also would like to know, what´s the proper way to classify a zone, that could be easily place in a schedule to calculate their areas, for example. In my office we deal a lot with plans where we have to divide the different renter space in a building, and I don´t find a proper way to do this. My thinking is that I should assig this info in the zone and later I can make a schedule with all the info I need. So far I create properties that later appear in the zone classification but that means that every one of my colleagues have to create the same property that I did, which is not possible at the moment. I would like to use a clasification method that is already by default in archicad.

Usually, a Zone is classified as "Space" or any other type of space below the "Space" branch of the Archicad Classification (like "Residential Space", "Office Space", etc.).
I would try to create an Expression-based Property (e.g., "Zone Story Name") that generates the name of the story based on the "Home Story Number" General parameter. Then, make this "Zone Story Name" Property available for Space classifications, and then it will appear among the available Properties in the Zone Stamp. I don't know why the Home Story Name parameter does not appear in the list, but you can get its value with this workaround.
If you find that everyone in an office wants to use certain Properties, the best thing to do is to put them in your Template files. Then, they will be available in every future Project started from that Template file. In currently running Projects, you can export/import individual Properties if needed.
