It's hard to know if that's an elevation or a cross-section. But you should look at complex profiles (Look for the Profile Manager), in any case.

1) What version of Archicad are you using?
2) Your "Help" file should tell you everything you need to know. Basically, you are going to draw a fill in the shape you want after you go to the Profile Manager, and select "New." You will then be able to select this profile as a wall type.

If you are using AC9 or earlier, you won't be able to do this, though.

I am very happy to help you.

But it is a bad sign regarding user aptitude when you are unwilling to search forum resources on your own, regardless of whether you get easily confused or not.

Your resources are:

• The Reference Manual accessed through your Help Menu
• Searching the Archicad Forum using the "Complex Profile" term supplied
• Seeing the Archicad Wiki,[link at upper left of this page] an encyclopedia of Archicad Knowledge. Searching this resource finds the following article by our expert colleague Eric Bobrow:

http://www.archicadwiki.com/Creative%20Uses%20of%20Complex%20Profiles

If you study these things you will not be confused any longer.

Under the Design Menu navigate to
-> Complex Profile
-> Profile Manager
__
1. create a new profile click on the " New" button
2. in the window draw your wall section with a fill
3. store the profile by clicking on "store profile"
4. apply the profile to the wall by selecting the button labeled 'apply to selection"

design > complex profiles > profile manager > new

this will open the profile manager
using the single hotspot thats in that window as the location of your referance line/point, use fills to draw a cross section of the wall profiel your after.

once your done, hit "store profile"

then in your wall tool push the complex profile as the wall method/complexity

then under structure, select the profile you drew in teh 1st step

Here.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
