Worksheet get record data from material

[MauritsVD]

Is it possible to get record data (free fields) from a material attached to an object.

I can get the data from the same record which is attached to a symbol but not from a material.

If you create a database of Materials instead of Objects then you should be able to get the record data from the Materials.

 

Worksheets are not really able to get information about Contained or Container objects (Parents or Children) directly. Only about the object specified directly by the criteria.

 

The possible work around would be to use Worksheet Scripts to get the data.

@Pat Stanford thank you! I've made one record in resource manager. I've this record attached to some symbols and I made two materials in resource manager. Also attached the record to the materials. Dragging the symbols in drawing, can read in Worksheet. Made an extrusion with a material, can't read the record from the material.

 

If this is achievable with a script can you tell me how?

 

Thanks for quick response!
