Zone Tool stamp

[Llian]

The stamp will only seem to appear on the View Map / Floor Plan ..I tried to have it place on the Area Cal Plan but only the fill shows up but not the stamp. Why ?

The other question is : what do i have to do to get the Area show up in the stamp ?

[Llian]

The zone tool setting shows the area of the zone - am I to type this in manually ?

The display of zone stamp is a model view option.

thanks for replying but i don't understand what you mean....

Did you turn on the "Show Area" option in your Zone Stamp tab? I don't have archicad with me to post screenshot for you but its explained in this video

You can read more about Model View options that Vistap was mentioning earlier here and here,although I don't think it will affect the display of Zone area .

thanks...i got the mvo now.
but the next question is the 'show area' is not in the zone tool and looks applecore has a custom zone tool that has custom fields.
thanks again!

can you check using other zone stamps that you've got in your library?

Llian, you might want to read James Murray's excellent page on Zones. In fact, whenever you get a chance, go through as many pages of the site as you can. There will often be references to custom objects that you can't download (developed in-house for his own firm) but the knowledge you'll gain is still invaluable.

Can't speak for the Applecore supplied zone stamp but the default ones should work as intended. Surprising if they've left out something as fundamental as the area, though.

Thanks. I will go through the site but I am still puzzled as to why my zone tool setting doesn't have the 'Show Area'.....

In the Zone Selection Settings got to the Zone Stamp panel and check the box next to Show Area.
