Revit API materials

[g.marusza]

Hello,

We are developing an application that needs to utilize the Revit API. We've encountered an issue regarding dynamically creating materials within our application. How can we directly retrieve values of various material parameters (such as roughness, metallic) in the most effective way?

The "most effective" depends... let's try to find any way at all to start with:

• Material, Physical and Thermal Assets
• Creating Material Texture and Retaining Pixels
• Forge, RevitApiDocs, Materials and Stacked Items
• Symbol, Instance, Material, Data, Journal, Break
• Point Clouds, Coloured Triangles and Faces
• BIM360 Links and Programming Add-Ins
• RBP, Materials, Their Assets and the Visual API

Hello Jeremy,
Let's start by how to retrieve all existing values of material's data (like roughness and metallicness) from existing Revit materials using the Revit API.

Could you with that?
