Zone Categories

Each Zone you create in your project is assigned a Zone Category in the Zone’s Settings dialog box.

Zone Categories are Archicad attributes.

Zone Category defines:

the default color of the Zone background (for all Floor Plan Zones, and for cut Zones in Section-type views and 3D Documents), and

the Zone Stamp object used for the Zone. (see Zone Stamps)

Note: Zone Stamps are turned off by default. (As of Archicad 25, Zones are placed with Zone Labels instead.)

Zone Categories Dialog Box

To define or redefine Zone Categories, go to Options > Element Attributes > Zone Categories.
