Story Marker for ArchiCad

Indigo Figs Story Marker is a view-base story marker. It allows you to turn on/off each story’s marker without affecting other markers in different Elevations/Sections.

Staggering Options

Display Story Name (with or without Story ID), 2 Story Elevations with separate Reference Levels.

Additional Stories / Levels for extra levels needed to display, without having to add actual project stories.

Markers on the left and right side can be move(offset) individually for each story, or using “Batch Offset Distance” tab to offset multiple stories (base on elevation) at the same time.

All of the contents, except Story IDs, come with “Custom Overwrite” option, which allows overwriting individual story, not just “Overwrite All”, with additional option to use “Remark Pen”.

Story Elevations with Optional Secondary Dimension Format that both can be link to settings in Option > Project Preferences > Dimension or using “Custom” within it’s own object’s setting dialog. “Fractions in Small Type” option in “Custom Dimension Format” tab also available.

Each Story Name, ID, Elevation has separate text settings (Font, Size, Style) with optional “Uniform Text”.

Content’s positions are adjustable (affects all stories).

Supports up to 500 project stories. From Story Marker 22 (2.00) and 21 (2.00) , supports project that doesn’t have stories’ ID less than -99 and more than 400.
