Zone Stamps with Two Lines of Text for the name

[JaredBanks]

I'm using the zone stamp as a room name and number tag (this will connect to the finish schedule so I want the names to be complete on the plan; I'll be storing all the finish schedule info in the zone parameters)

Some of our room names get really long and I'd like to be able to put the name on two lines. Is this possible?

Or is there a way to have each zone have two names, one that shows up on the plan (an abbreviated one) and one that will show up on the schedule. We're in v9 right now, though we're in the process of switching over to v10 so ideas is either would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jared


--also, if anyone has any better way to connect all this without doing what I'm doing, I'd love to hear as I'm still too new to ArchiCAD.

will do it, because '\n' is the code in GDL for New Line Feed.
At least it worked for me.
But it will flow into the next line of the Zone Stamp. Unfortunately Zone Stamps are not prepared for this.

It might look a little odd in your schedules too.

That's why I scripted mine to parse the text. It's also easier to explain to users that if they need two lines for the room name to just pull on the green diamond (dynamic hotspot).

Thanks for the stamp and everyone's thoughts.

I don't know much about scripting, but is it possible to set a limit on the length of the text and have it automatically start a new line? Basically have the text act like the normal text tool, but with perhaps a set bounding box width?

typing \ or \n is nice, but with it showing up in the schedule it doesn't fit my needs, unfortunately. At least for the current project where I need the names to show up correctly on the finish schedule. Or is it possible to hide the \ or \n, perhaps make it white or add more script to hide it?
