Link elements to zones

[Ahmed_K]

Hello , 

Instead of the buggy " zone linked elements " function inside ArchiCAD, which automatically detects elements placed inside or at the zone boundaries, it would be very nice to have manual link possibilities , 

a big slab that covers multiple zones could be linked to them all, 

i can choose to which zone i want to link a wall , or a dorr, manually ,

The ability to be "linked" to more than one Zone would be nice.

@Ahmed_K  Could you explain why you find "zone linked elements" buggy?

[Ahmed_K]

When you draw walls , and then place zones , the wall in-between znes are linked randomly , and you can't assign which wall to belinked to which one , same for doors , sometimes , it can't detect the zone ,

Also, sometimes you have overlapping zones on the same story. For example, you could have individual room zones and an overall building area zone to calculate the gross area of each floor.

In this case, Archicad seems to assign objects randomly to one or the other overlapping zone. So, if you are trying to create a furniture schedule that lists the associated zone for each item, some of them will be associated with the room zones, and some with the overall building area zone.

There should be a way for elements to list which zones they are potentially associated with, and a way for the user to select which one they would like the element to be associated with.
