zone stamp

[Anonymous]

i'm back to archicad after vw 11 for awhile!

about zone stamp. i am trying to position the zone stamp information box but the zone stamp on the plan seems to move with it.

am i missing something here?

appreciate your help.

Be sure that you have the zone stamp tool selected when modifying the location of the text. Then you can select the text box and relocate.

I know this is an old post, but I am having the same issue of not being able to have a mask behind the Zone Stamp Text. I am working in ArchiCAD 14. Can someone please help?

It depends on the zone stamp you are using. The standard AC14 stamp has settings that allow both the background fill and pen of the stamp to be adjusted. Look in the 2d Representation section of the settings.

If you have set these correctly and you are still not seeing the background fill, then check the Model View Options - you may have 'Override Drafting Fills' ticked.

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much for the response. I found the basic zone stamp from AC14, and the background fill works for that one.

However, I do have this customized stamp where the frame fits around the room # text. I don't see a "2D Representation" option for it. Is there a way to add in that parameter?

Please see the attached image of settings I have.

Thank you.

The background fill will just be a 2d polygon in the code that adjusts itself to the size of the text. The exact way it could be added to the code depends on how your zone stamp is coded, but I guess it should be *fairly* easy to do.

Can you post up the zone stamp so we can have a look at the code? Some nice person might even edit it for you depending on complexity!

[Anonymous]

When you say "code" do you mean script? (Sorry I'm VERY new to this) I'm in the place where you can edit library objects and there are many types of script: Master Script; 2D Script; Property Script; Parameter Script; Interface Script. I will post the "2D Script" ....it is really long though.

The code looks like it is based on the standard zone stamp, so adding a 2d polygon fill should be relatively straightforward depending on your requirements.

It is difficult to check exactly how it works at the moment using only the part of the code that you posted. It refers to multiple parameters defined in the parameter list and other scripts, and won't work without them.

Who originally created the zone stamp? Would they mind you attaching it to a post? (You will have Zip it up to attach it.) I can't guarantee that I can fix it myself, but I'm sure someone on these forums can!

[Anonymous]

Why is it that you cannot adjust the size of text in the zone stamp? The name is adjustable, but not the area size. Very frustrating!

[Anonymous]

Hi,

That's because the setting of the font size of the title and of the details is in different places.

See the attached image!
