Need of component properties in expressions

ShineJoseph

It's a headache when it comes to calculations of building materials. It is possible to access building material component volume in Archicad. However, to automate the process, I cannot use the component properties in the expression editor. I always have to depend on Excel. When I have a composite it becomes a horror film. 

I was calculating quantity requirements for Reinforced concrete. I use thumb rules and calculate. it works on the whole element. but when I have a composite, I have no chance of using the expression with the component volume. 
please make it a priority.

Absolutely, I think this needs much work and attention. Why not have all the material data automatically exported to a full materials list like other programs do very easily, like Chief Architect or SoftPlan SoftList ?
