zone stamp objects - where are they?

Zones are on my mind at the moment and I want to create or alter a zone stamp. Problem is: I can't find where they are stored. I need to know because I want to put my new/modified stamp in a place where Archicad (and I) can find it. I've done a file search and can't find a zone stamp object anywhere.

Kees:

You may need to unpack the library (if it is a .pla file). In the US ArchiCAD Library 9 there is a folder named "Zones 9" with 3 zone stamps. Or you can go to File>GDL Objects>Open Object by Subtype... and then go to General GDL Object>Drawing Symbol>Zone Stamp to select a zone type object to open, even those built into the application.

The easy way is to place the Zone you want to modify. Select the Zone Marker, then select File > GDL Objects > Object Object...

Archicad will open the object editor, and you can save your modified version to your company library.
