If you need to be able to change / adjust the Category, you can use the Category.ByName node on the output of the UI.MultiInputForm++ and just use the Category name for both the Key and the value input on the Dropdown. ---

Thanks RevitNoob. The idea is to select one category from a lista of categories…in this case the categry i will choose is rooms, and then i want to obtain all elements of this category. but using the "all elements of category "node it desn[t works…may be i have to transform the Autodesk.Revit.DB.Category before i obtain the elements ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/c/6c2bf640e450061bbaadb8465f8221570795e6d2.png) ---

See my post above. I thought you were looking for something else after re-reading the post, but perhaps not. ---

I found a way by using in the MultipleInputForm ++ node the Category name(s) as Key(s) and Value(s). So the selection goes directly with the name in it. Thanks
