I've even tried all kinds of custom objects to read the Zone name, show it as 3D text, and face the section marker, but none of them worked 😞

Tom,
I gada ask.
How do you make an object be aware of a section marker and
which way that marker is pointing ?

After 11 years have passed, I am wondering if ArchiCAD has made any advancements in this department? It seems like an obvious thing to be added so that rooms in building sections can be automatically noted. I have found that there is an add-on made by another site that seems to do this, but they only have it for version 19 or prior, so that does not help me in version 20 (http://simpleaddon.com/index.html). Please let me know if there is anything new in this area that might help automate the process. Thanks!

Have you tried the AC19 add-on in AC20? Is there any particular reason why it would not work in the newer version?

The AC add-on now includes ArchiCAD 20 and it does work, but unfortunately it is not live. Once the zone titles are added they do not change if a zone is changed in that section.

The year is 2018. ArchiCAD version 21 (22 for some).

Do we have automated zone stamp information in section&elevation?
