Hello out there!!

What I am trying to do is change my Zone calculation unites to differ measure from that of my project units. I have been working in mm. and would like to have the zone calculations in m...

Thoughts????

Thx.

Are you talking about inside a schedule or in the Zone Stamp itself? If in the Zone Stamp, which one are you using?

I do not believe there is a direct method to change the Output to be different from the Calc Units, but the coding needed to change the object to display whatever units you want should be pretty easy if you have done any GDL work.

If I understand you correctly... I am in the zone stamp tool using the poly-line application method, as for what it is I'm trying to change, I'll have to assume that it is not the schedule, but in fact the stamp on the zoned portion of the drawing.

Thx!!!

Right. The Zones each have their own control of what they display. The default ones that all come with Archicad are programmed to match the Calculation Settings.

Is there a roughn'ready way to go about changing that, or is it more involved?

It depends. Have you done any GDL scripting?

If so, it's pretty easy. If not, it could make a good first project 🙂

Tell me which Zone Stamp you are using and I'll check to see how hard it will really be.
