Its allready work as a custom automatic descriptor, but... <BR />Sometimes I would like to make a custom list of materials (for example - detail tool). Default settings lets you to write something in custom rows, but I want to make it as a set of rows which can be selected from a defined material list. <BR /><BR />I allready created a scheme. I have 2 main problems:<BR /><BR />1. How display <I></I><S><I><I></I></I></S>material parameter as a name of the material (not number)<BR />2. I just changed default parameter which was a <I></I><S><I><I></I></I></S>text parameter - now its <I></I><S><I><I></I></I></S>material parameter, I changed it in every macro, but it doesn't show up in viewport.<BR /><BR />I appreciate every tip you have.</DIV> Mon, 26 Sep 2022 20:56:26 GMT Anonymous 2022-09-26T20:56:26Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/GDL/Materials-flag/m-p/232699#M4364 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content">Hi, I have some simple task to do.<BR /><BR />I want to create flag to describe materials.
