Revit provides some pretty comprehensive materials for us to use on various elements in different situations such as wall surface fill pattern and mass material. Let’s list all the Revit Materials available in a document created from the default Architectural Template.
public static void ListOutRevitMaterials(RvtDocument doc)
{
FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(doc);
var materials = collector.WherePasses(new ElementClassFilter(typeof(Material))).Cast<Material>();
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(@"c:\temp\RevitMaterials.csv"))
{
sw.WriteLine(string.Format("Name, Class, Color, Shininess, Smoothness, Transpatency, SurfacePattern"));
foreach(Material mat in materials)
{
sw.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}", mat.Name, mat.MaterialClass, mat.Color, mat.Shininess,mat.Smoothness, mat.Transparency));
}
}
}
…
ListOutRevitMaterials(CachedDoc);
…
Here are they.
