Description

This course will help you learn how to perform common operations with Materials in the Revit API. There is a lot of data about materials that exists in Revit's database that is not easily accessible from the Revit User Interface, so the API can be a great help in collecting this data. Please add comments on the course to suggest additional Materials topics that you would like covered.
