Beam, profiled

In beam settings I select the 'profiled' checkbox, and in the 'Structure' parameters I get the pop-up with L Steel Section, W Steel Section, etc.

I think I remember months ago I was able to select exactly the W beam I wanted, and right now I am only getting a W 3 15/16 x whatever. How do I set which profile I want? Or am I mixing everything up with the pop-up for the W beam object?

Ignacio,
From your description I am guessing
you may be talking about one of these objects.

It sounds to me like you are using the Beam Tool. It never had a full library. I think you are mixing it up with the W beam object.
