This should work for Stacked Walls.

I got a pretty fundamental question… How do you receive a list in the ElementType.ByName component? Mine is blank from the start and receives list only after I connect to it Document.CategoriesPicker where I can’t find

This is where I got confused.

Revit Walls properties panel: _Basic Wall, Curtain Wall, Stacked Wall_

GH List: _Basic Wall, Curtain Wall_

I know I should put more effort in UI.  
Category picker is annoying, but in that case you can search for a type by its exact full name or searching using only part of the type name.  
I’m exploring other ways of showing so much information in a Grasshopper canvas.

Wow, this search you just did surprised me so much… I would never guess that. Thanks!  
I already started a topic, that we need some better Value List component.

In Heteroptera plugin, slightly different component - Item Pick has handy radio-buttons (so we don’t need to uncheck things. I think this could be added to the options we already have.

And we still need a better one.  
I want to generalize the search idea to a value list that took any list like HumanUI does.  
This way you will be able to feed it with the Document.Categories component and filter-search by name.
