Smart dimension markers, how?

Anonymous

When inserting windows in walls, can I have dimensions markers text to be automaticly associated with opening dimension?
Eg. if you have same window dimensions, they would have same position number (marker text), like in the pic. No.1....then after, if I insert different dimension it would be automaticly named No.2...No.3...

I'm not 100% sure if I understand your problem, but ArchiCad can't set ID depending on size, if you don't make an object with predefind sizes and ID's and then combine this with an marker that read this data.

Else I recommend that you draw all your windows, then use Element Schedules to give different windows different ID's.

Yeah your right.
But I can do this manualy as you said using the ID text.
Thanx
