Modify Zone stamp

[Achille Pavlidis]

In zones there are 8 choice possibilities, but not the choice of the type of suspended ceiling... is it possible to alter the script to add this option? I need it for quantities reason.
Thanks

Yes. The details will depend on the zone stamp you use.

It may also be possible with linked properties but I haven't tried this myself.

Thank you Matthew!
I have already started manipulating a zone stamp for quantity take off reasons following the book "From Archicad to quantity survey".
I have inserted the flooring and i would really appreciate some hints to insert the suspended ceiling parameters...

Are you meaning to pick up parameters from ceilings modeled within the zone or just adding parameters to the zone stamp for typing in the info? The former is not possible AFAIK. The latter is pretty easy (assuming you are already editing GDL scripts).

Just adding parameters to the zone stamp.
I did this with the flooring and i have now drop-down menus where i can choose the kind of floor which subsequently gets linked to criteria for quantities, and i would like to do the same for suspended ceilings, but i would appreciate some help as i am a total newbie to gdl...

That book deals with the old Calculation menu and its listing functions that were already available before Interactive Schedule came along.
It tells you all the steps of being able to create bill of materials and lists using that older method.
