Hi,
I made a small workflow to automatically select sections and materials from the SectionDatabase components and the MaterialDatabase component.
MaterialDatabase works well and qucik but the SectionDatabase is not the best. In the value list I cannot have all the sections due to the maximum limit inputs in the value list component.
Does anyone have a better idea on how to do it? Or maybe @MarcoPelle, any updates in the new version?

Option 1 - best solution in my opinion
Use section.ByShape and connection a “Value List” which will automatically fill with the right input.
Later, you can use ItemSelector from Human plug-in
Option 2 - most of the user can use this workflow while working on the fly.
Value list, as you said, can not store ALL the steel secton names though.
Option 3 - Suggestion ?
Would you like to have a special “ValueList” where you can manually select any section?
Maybe something like the following?
Solution 2 works quite well, but having all selection compressed in a single component would be quite good. So Solution 3 looks promising. 
Thanks for the quick response.
