Get material name from material ID in structure in Revit

Hi

I would like to get the material name from the structure tab in Revit. The node FamilyType.CompoundStructureLayers is a very good node to get access to the structure of elements in Revit however it gives you only material number like displayed in the pictures.
Is there a node or a way to obtain the names of the materials instead of numbers?


Try putting an Element.Parameters node after your watch node.

Hi @deen86

Use Material.Name node.

Thank you, this is one of the solutions.

Thank you, both solutions works great.

Hi,
I would like to know if there is any chance of getting the material ID’s (the numbers in the green box that we see when extracting the material details) in addition to the material names.
Are there any nodes available to retrieve that parameter?
Thank you.

I tried this and it didn’t return a material name, just the word surface for every single instance. In the test case, I’m trying to put the topography material, but it would be used on all system families.
