Building Materials

Building Materials are attributes, defined at Options > Element Attributes > Building Materials. 

All model elements use Building Materials in their structures. Building Materials are also available for Stairs, Railings, profile elements, and certain Library Parts (in the INT Library: those in the Building Structures Folder and RoofMaker Library Folder).

Building Materials are also used as components of composite structures and profiles.

Each Building Material combines the following:

• Cut fill
• Cut fill pens (foreground/background)
• Intersection Priority
• Fill orientation (relevant for a composite or complex element)
• Surface
• Classifications and Properties, including Physical Properties
