Creating a material with category assigned

[GeomGym]

Hi,

How do I assume a category to a generated material.  My code with the current result attached (v2013).

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Document doc = commandData.Application.ActiveUIDocument.Document;
			Application app = commandData.Application.Application;
			Transaction trn = new Transaction(doc, "ggTest");
			trn.Start();
			
			ElementId id = Autodesk.Revit.DB.Material.Create(doc, "STEEL"); 
			Material material = doc.GetElement(id) as Material;

			StructuralAsset strucAsset = new StructuralAsset("My Property Set", StructuralAssetClass.Metal);
			PropertySetElement pse = PropertySetElement.Create(doc, strucAsset);
			material.SetMaterialAspectByPropertySet(MaterialAspect.Structural, pse.Id);

			doc.Regenerate();
			trn.Commit();
			return Result.Succeeded;

HI Jon,

the Category property can be changed Material.MaterialClass property.
