Story Markers v2 Tool for Archicad - Flexible and Customisable

Story Markers v2

Achieve ultimate flexibility and precision with the Story Marker tool for Archicad. Integrated seamlessly into section and elevation markers or placed independently, this tool provides unparalleled customisation options for displaying story information. With Archibites’ intuitive ‘Text Source’ interface, you can present elevation dimensions in any format—metric, imperial, brick/block dimensions or custom text—tailored perfectly to your project’s style. The Story Marker ensures consistency across all markers, streamlining workflows and enhancing documentation quality. Contains 2 Markers

Story Marker – available inside Elevation/Section settings
Story Marker Custom – object that can be placed anywhere including Sections, Elevations and Details

Whats New to Version 2

Automatic Story Markers set via Section/Elevation settings dialogue appear on every story and cannot customized per story. The upgraded Custom Story Marker fixes this. After turning off automatic Story Markers, place the Custom Story Marker and you can instantly generate one or all stories (as one instance) at their correct elevations and naming. Plus, each individual story marker can be vertically and horizontally offset from the level line to prevent overlapping text when stories are close together. See more below or checkout this video.
