Can I edit material catalog?

CarlsonWang

Hi everyone,

I  want to calculate the embodied carbon from my model, and I am trying to edit the building materials' physical properties.

As I know, the material catalog can load the physical properties, but the data is unsuitable for our country.

Can I edit the material catalog directly? or I can load it from my catalog.

it would be appreciated if anyone could provide a solution.

You can just open it in Notepad, it looks pretty straight forward with 'tags'. Should be easy enough to create your own list.

 

Our version has a pretty extensive list, but the local reseller here (Kubus) generally goes above and beyond with most things.
