ahmed_hassan:

Use the Beam Tool, set the Cut Fill to match the concrete in your slab, and set the top of the beam to the same height as the bottom of the slab, the fills should merge in section.

Hello ahmed_hassan,

you have to control two aspects:
1. the cut fills of the different elements.
2. the Model display tab in the settings of the section.

I hope it helps.

best regards

frankly i do not understand because i really face problem of how to make reinforced concret go penetrate the wall in section and how slab can be done without interruption of reinforced concrete as its own shape and for David i do not know how to merge
Thanks for David Maudlin , David Maudlin for trying to help i am appreciating it.
waiting others if they can help more

I guess that is all. 🙂
For the effect you want. It works with all kinds of materials in sections.
You just have to get the hang of it.

Ahmed,

If you are wondering how to place the objects:

Place the beam in the wall at the same height as the slab. Stretch the vertical height of the wall down to the base of the beam.

As has been mentioned above, if the cut fills of your slab and beam are the same you will achieve your desired section.

Note: my example below is in English/Imperial units.

you are right about it will be merged but the problem when i stretch down the wall height to show the beam it effects on 3d as i attatched in the image so what i can do to perserve wall height in 3d and satisfy desired 2d section detail.

Ahmed,

I guess it this point it is time to ask yourself, "How is this going to be actually built?" and model it that way. Obviously a beam and a wall cannot occupy the same space in reality so in ArchiCAD a wall will envelope the beam when they do occupy the same space in the program.

Here are some workarounds though:

1. Use the wall tool to make your beam. Put it on its own custom layer and make its cut fill match the slab. The slab/beam cross section will appear as you would like and there is no line showing the wall in the background since walls will join together seamlessly.

2. Use a fill to cover the top of the wall line in the background.

However, as I said at the beginning of this reply, if you model it as it is going to be built, then no workarounds should be necessary as I would be certain that some sort of sheathing will cover the beam in its true construction according to what you are trying to achieve.

That is the trade-off we face in building information modelling:

Either model with the goal of 100% real world accuracy, which can take more time, increases model complexity and file size.

Or model to an acceptable level for the project at hand and then use 2D drafting details to fill in the gaps. This means that technically the model is less accurate but your drawings should be accurate, your files will be smaller and the require less overall time in many cases.

You must weigh the pros and cons for the project at hand and what you find acceptable.
