Where is the xml for my custom Building Materials?

Hi,

I see the MaterialCatalog.xml under the Ecodesigner folder.

I've created a bunch of new BM's and I winder if there is any way to reach the Physical Properties for my BM's in  a text file or similar? I'd like to update the BM physical properties for many .pln files and would prefer bulking this. When I export the BM's as an xml I don''t find the physical properties...
