Modifing a Zone Stamp

[rgarand]

Hello all,

We are pulling out our hair here trying to fumble through customizing our Zone Stamp. We like the Zone Identifier 2 and have been able to manipulate the variables we want to see in our Room Finish Schedules/Info Box. Our problem is that we do not want the Frame box to size according to the Zone Name. We would like it to size according to the width of the Room Number/Room Area etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Since we do not know much about GDL programming, does anyone know a good resource for GDL in ArchiCAD 9, or is the GDL Cookbook ok to look at for Version 9 GDL?

TIA

I'm not sure I understand your issue completely (and I know you've solved it already) but t seems that the "Room Identifier_NCS"would do the trick right out of the box. It's included with AC 9 and can be accessed by changing the Stamp in Options / Attribute settings / Zone Categories.

My issue, however, is not solved by any of the identifiers and that is: I want the room # to be the ID of the zone. Isn't this what everyone wants? That way, ID manager can assign your room #'s automatically. Has anyone made a zone Identifier that works this (maybe superior) way? Any help appreciated.
