Getting API_CWallComponent surface textures

vesalaasanen — Thu, 30 May 2024 11:49:19 GMT

I'm trying to retrieve these surface materials of composite wall via API. I'm getting the API_CWallComponents and for each a API_BuildingMaterialID and from there a header name. Like in the picture example "Concrete". What I need is the surface "Concrete - 04" and the associated texture "Concrete - 04 cb -opt", but I cannot find a way to access them.

I am guessing but isn't API_BuildingMaterialType.cutMaterial the property you are looking for?

I'm getting empty results from there

What do yo mean by empty? The property is an object API_AttributeIndex.

The value of API_BuildingMaterialType.cutMaterial is the index of an API_MaterialType attribute. Use ACAPI_Attribute_Get with this index to look up the relevant API_MaterialType, which will provide you with the name etc.
