How can I add more LCA building materials?

[VictorVos7]

Why do I have only a limited number of materials for which I can change the LCA settings? How can I add other materials? It would be great if someone could help me!

Hey Victor,

DesignLCA only comes with GWP data for some materials as the data varies based on country, type, etc... to add data to a material, make sure the desired material is classified as a "LCA Building Material" in the "LCA Classification System" as shown in the Building Materials tab.

Once this is done the "LCA Material" property set will show up and you can add data through that or through the "Building Materials LCA Settings" tab you have open in your screenshot.

Hope this helped and feel free to reach out if you need a clearer explanation/ walkthrough.
