Hi,
Is there any way to get tabulated data for all of the materials in the Robot database? I searched in the program files / Robot 2013 but can't find it easily.
Thanks,
Tony

hahah ok thanks ![]()
So, without API, if a colleague wants to print a list of material properties for example - all concrete types - then he would have to draw many bars, then assign each one a material? Then use the table you describe?

API, API, API...
Gift for You attached - whole database to Excel.
If you want only concrete materials :
replace
Set RNA = RobApp.Project.Preferences.Materials.GetAll
by
Set RNA = RobApp.Project.Preferences.Materials.Get(I_MT_CONCRETE)
