Get material data

[Brodieedge]

Hi guys,

I’m looking to try to extract the data from a material in the same way that I can extract the data from any other element in Revit.

In my attempts I have tried the typical getparametervaluebyname node as well as other related nodes with no luck. I presume there’s a way I just for the life of me cant get there.

As an example below I am trying to get the description of all materials but am not able to get any data.

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks I cannot say how much this community has aided me in the past.

That GetParameter node will be looking for the material’s parameter (under ‘Identity’ tab) rather than the appearance asset which is a different element.

From memory several of the properties for materials and appearance assets aren’t actually parameter so you can’t get at them using that method anyway. Have a look at Genius Loci and Orchid packages, they’ve got some good nodes for getting at all that info.
