Do you have an example of what you are looking for? It is not clear what you are wanting and looking at the Steelselect site is not helping.

for standard sections, Options>Import Standard Steel Profiles to transfer profiles to complex profile manager for use.

It appears that the profiles can only be imported one at a time. Not sure why it was done this way since the program already reads the data base required for the objects. Seems like a simple matter to include the standard profiles as part of the program rather than having to import profiles one by one. It would also be really nice to have a couple of labels to note beams and columns. This would be a nice opportunity for Graphisoft to give us another tool to let us think we got something new.

When you are in the Standard Steel Profile Database (AC 14), there is a list of Available Profiles. You can do a cmd-A / ctrl-A to select them all, or shift click the ones you want, and then add them all. You would have to go through each geometry (C, H, T, U, etc.) but would then have them all - if you need to bog down your file with that many attributes.
Once you have them all in one file, you can transfer all of the profiles, in one step, to another project using Attribute Manager.
Using the profiles with the beam or column tool, you will still not have the control over the end conditions that you have with the steel library parts though.
Still, it is huge value that Graphisoft provided this large selection of international profiles in 14.

I didn't know this. As of today, I didn't even know one could import the steel sections. I still think regional standard steel sections should be part of the program as a new tool based on the custom profile tool. In this new tool, we should have control over the ends of all beams.

It's time for GS to "finish" implementing the beam and column tools IMHO, rather than introduce something special for steel.
Cheers,

I would love to be able to categorize my profiles into folders rather than have a gigantic laundry list of profiles. I'd have folders like Mouldings, Foundation and footings, Steel, Masonry etc.
Might be worth "bumping" that wish topic.
