It would be great if in addition to the “MaterialProperty(propertyName)” function we could have a “ComponentMaterialProperty(propertyName)" function which could then be used in a Data Tag to report the specified property for a Material assigned to a Wall/Slab/Roof/etc component. For example a tag could then be used to return the Description, Mark or Keynote fields for an individual component’s Material.
At the moment the “MaterialProperty(propertyName)” function is of no use in a Data Tag because it can't find Materials inside components (or objects for that matter, in which case an “ObjectMaterialProperty(propertyName)" function would be useful as well).
