We have expanded the use of this tutorial to the approach you are looking for. Basically in the BIM 360 Reports app we add a dropdown menu that contains all the different properties that are available per model loaded. In the tutorial we use 'Material' since most AEC and MFG models contain this property. You can test a quick load of 'Category' in either the BarChart or PieChart by simply doing a swap, take into consideration that the model loading needs to have this property.

Here you can find the code to avoid the hardcoding of the properties and to load the graphs with the selected one you prefer.

Now, in regard the use of different graphs, yes you can use whatever you desire, we are using Chart.js and they have many options available for you to look into. You can use the same structure of data we have given to the Bar and Pie Charts and one quick test can be swap everything that has 'doughnut' to 'polarArea'
