First, is there an official mapping the short value to the material that I wasn't able to find.Yes. There is an example on ACAPI_Attribute_Get (Example II) for this.
Second, this values will never change in future updates, can I count on the number 45 always being Glass, for example.No. Since you can modify the list on Options > Element Attributes > Building Materials... dialog.

GSErrCode err; ofstream file; API_Attribute attrib; short n; BNZeroMemory(&attrib, sizeof(API_Attribute)); attrib.header.typeID = API_BuildingMaterialID; err = ACAPI_Attribute_GetNum(API_BuildingMaterialID, &n); file.open("ListOfMaterials.txt"); for (int i = 1; i <= n && err == NoError; i++) { attrib.header.index = i; err = ACAPI_Attribute_Get(&attrib); if (err == NoError) { file << attrib.buildingMaterial.head.name << "\n"; } if (err == APIERR_DELETED){ err = NoError; } } file.close();
