i'm having a problem with the layer managment.
I dont want the zone stamps to show on the publishers paper, but even with the layer frozen in the model and in the papers they are appearing..
How can I solve that??

Thanks

It gives the code to add to a zone enabling you manually set and display the LxW of a room.

If you go to the Layer Settings Dialog in the Layout Book then that will affect 2D drawing elements placed onto the Layout itself. It does not affect elements within a Drawing placed onto the Layout.

If you select the Drawing on the Layout and right-click, the Context Menu appears and you select the Open Source View command from the context menu, ArchiCAD will go back to the Floor Plan viewpoint and will set the settings the Drawing is seen in the Layout.
Note that when you place a Drawing on the Layout, its source is always a View: a View is a viewpoint with saved settings of Layer Combination, Pen Set, Scale etc. So you will need to modify the Layer Combination used in the View on which the Drawing placed on the Layout is based.
I hope this makes sense.

Yes, I know.
I return to the Floor Plan with the Open Source View command, and lock and hide the zone layer. It's perfect. But when I return to the Layout the layer unlock and show the stamps. Then I return to floor plan again and it is showing the stamps.
I need to save the new settings? Here can I save it??

The problem is that when you return to the Floor Plan, the layer shows.
See, Drawing that is placed on that Layout has a source. That source is a View. Now, Views are found in the View Map part of the Navigator. The Floor Plan is a viewpoint. If you save a View, that will be a viewpoint with specific settings, including scale, Layer Combination, Pen Set etc. The source of a Drawing placed on a Layout is always a View, never a Viewpoint. In other words, its source is a View of the Floor Plan Viewpoint located in the View Map, and not the Floor Plan Viewpoint.
So you will have the find in the View Map the View that is the source of the Drawing and change the settings of the View. Or save another View and place that View onto the Layout.
If you select the Drawing on the Layout and go to the Drawing Settings Dialog, it will tell you in the "ArchiCAD view" filed of the Identification panel exactly where in the View Map the source View of the Drawing is located.
