Room tag that calculates materials

jburger_D7 — Wed, 10 Mar 2021 13:02:37 GMT

Hi there,

Is there a way to get a room tag that displays the material of the 6 sides/surfaces of a room? (i.e. north, south, east and west wall material, ceiling material and floor material)

Thanks,

Jason

There are already Fields for Floor and Ceiling...and for Walls

If you want to create Fields for each Wall then:

You have to create Shared Parameter (text parameters) for East,West, North and South and you'll be able to see them in Schedules and Tags.

constantin.stroescu - thanks for the input. If I am understanding correctly, these are all text based parameters. I was looking for something that actually pulls the material of the particular surface. The true material not a user input text material parameter. Does that make sense?

following the tip of @constantin.stroescu , then you can fill those parameters with API routine. Not easy though.

Look into Roombook extension.
