defining steel quality through Design Process

What is the proper way to describe the steel quality in Revit?

In advance steel it is aggregated as follows;

How Can we do this in a similar way in Revit?

I See no parameter to define the Grade within Revit.

Do I need a custom Material parameter?

Or is there a procedure to host the databases of both software on the same source?
if so, is it applicable to steel sections as well?

Kind regards,

Willem

This would be based on Material.

OK, Concatenate the information in the name of the material might be an option, but not ideal for maintenance of the material database.

I guess there is no option to manage both Material databases simultaneously, So I wonder how I have to integrate this in the EIR, if steel-structure-copy in the BIM models come from both softwares.

The consensus on the forum is to create a new material this may help.
