Hello. There was a question about variable products. There is Some kind of product (Circle), It has variations in materials (Steel, Tin), each in turn is divided into others (Steel - Ordinary, Calibrated, Tin - Ordinary). And Depending on the selected characteristics (For example, Steel, Plain), the values ​​​​of the diameter and steel grades should appear (Drop-down list with values ​​​​60
... but somehow it is rational and not optimal. Or maybe the logic is wrong?

Variable products are when there are not many of them. Size, color. And few people use such options.
What you describe is more like a configurable product. By default, there is no such product type in Woo.
There are plugins for building products with options. For example https://woocommerce.com/products/product-add-ons/
Using a similar mechanism, you can make a product with a configurator. In which to cut down all these choices. And on their basis, calculate the options and prices that will go into the order.
