Automating the material selection for the same model on revit using dynamo

[efyhm2]

Hi all, I’m trying to carrying out the embodied energy calculation using 6 different types of concrete composition on the same revit model. I want to select each material one by one using dynamo and use Autodesk insight for the calculation. I’ve already list the 6 materials on revit. Is this possible ?

Changing the chemical composition of concrete in revit

Based on experience at my own firm you will be better off adding this as data to the object as revit stores material data differently for some objects such as floors vs columns. This can be done via a code which you could intersect with a table of rates using Dynamo or similar to perform QTO of carbon. If you are new to Dynamo I suggest reading dynamo primer which covers all the techniques you would need to achieve this. If this is more a Revit setup in query you will get more input via Revit …
