Dear Rana,

 

I just noticed this thread of yours, and also your comment on The Building Coder requesting the same:

[Q] I would like to know if it is possible to get access to the list of all materials available in Revit with their Thermal Properties (thermal conductivity,density, etc.), in a text format?

 

Could it be done via writing codes?

 

[A] You can definitely access and export to text all the materials.

 

Look at The Building Topic group on Material Management and Libraries:

I believe full access to their thermal properties is also provided:

> Physical Properties > Thermal properties

 

> Material assets > ThermalAsset – contains thermal properties that can be set on materials via PropertySetElement and SetMaterialAspectByPropertySet()

 

If you are a begiinner with the Revit API, please work through the getting started material before doing anything else or asking any other questions, especially the DevTV and My First Revit Plugin tutorials:

Good luck and have fun!

 

Cheers,

 

Jeremy
