zone label font adjustment and zone name to show on building sections

I have 3 questions regarding Zones.

1.  How can I make the room number bigger (same size as room name), but still keep the area and floor material small font as is?
2. How can I show the room tags showing on the floor plan show up on my sections?   I have already unchecked legacy dont show on sections check box.  
3. I have over 100 room names alreday set up with a zone tag. But I want to modify all of them now  to include additional information. Can I do this globally?

Hello,

 

Do you use Zone Stamps or labels? Using zone stamps is easy and effective, but for more detailed and flexible management I recommend using zone labels with zones.

 

1) If you use Zone Stamps, you can make room number bigger from here :

2) If you use zone stamps you cant show them in section. You must to label your zones in section. If you select all zones in section you can label them from here:

3) If you use zone stamps no you cant. When you make any name change on the Zone stamp, this change will change the name of all selected zones and make them all the same.

Hello,

May I ask you, why it's good to use a separate zone category for each room?

On our school projects, for presentation plans, it is nice to have all general classrooms appearing the same, so that is one category.

Gyms & Locker rooms are there own category.

Music related rooms are there own category

Offices appear as there own category

etc.

 

It helps with keeping our presentation plans consistent.

we also have a schedule that has all areas grouped together by their specifically assigned categories,  So we can see exactly how many sq ft are devoted to classrooms, vs the spaces devoted to circulation or Mechanical Rooms.
