Samuel Derenboim Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Will we ever be able to pull material data information into a data tag? I noticed in order to pull it in a worksheet - command is something like : =MATPROPERTYBYNAME(B3, 'MaterialDescription') =MATPROPERTYBYNAME(B3, 'MaterialReferenceID') =MATPROPERTYBYNAME(B3, 'MaterialManufacturer') etc... Will we be ever able to do the same thing with data tags? Quote Link to comment

Tom W. Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 @Samuel Derenboim see: Can be used to tag materialmanufacturer, materialreferenceID, etc as well. Unless it's a Compound Material in which case you can only return the Description, Mark + Keynote fields as far as I can tell 1 Quote Link to comment

Unless it's a Compound Material in which case you can only return the Description, Mark + Keynote fields as far as I can tell Thank you for letting me know! Posted a formula for regular geometry as well. Will be very useful in the future for detail call outs (creating a custom set). Originally intended on using symbols with custom records for annotation and callouts. I also noticed a custom record option in materials - it would be interesting to see how that works as well! I will keep experimenting Edited August 24, 2022 by Samuel Derenboim Quote Link to comment
