How to set material for rail

Make sure to search carefully for your issues on the forums before making a new one.

Can't Get Railing Material

The storage type for the rail structure element (red rectangle) is “None”, and so there’s no API access to the underlaying (material) parameter data. Once access is open, a custom node can by written in Python (or C#) to allow Dynamo to manipulate this data. API material parameter access to the other elements of a rail is available (green rectangle) [image]

It looks like in 2017 the API didn’t have access to this level of the tool, and I’m not aware of it being added since.
