How to obtain its material through elements

[Barry Kelly]

I do not understand the question.

Do you mean how do you obtain the material of an element?

Building Material or Surface Material?

What type of element, object, composite wall, beam, slab?

As with your other question, where are you trying to get this information?

In a label, in GDL API (add-on), schedule?

Let me know and i will move this post to the appropriate forum.

C++ API(add-ons)

Surface Material, beam

[BerndSchwarzenbacher]

You have to access the memo of the beam element IIRC (even if it's a beam with a single segment):
memo.beamSegments[0].bottomMaterial

Or something like this, don't have time to try it myself right now.

Thank you, I will try it.
