No Default Material Grade dialog

Used to define a default material grade during export for members which do not have a material grade property defined. The Structural Material Grade property is used to define the ISM steel or concrete material name. Members exported without a material grade property defined are not assigned an ISM material. The ISM material name is used to support Import mapping of material and ISM usage to Structural discipline's DataGroup System.
