    <description>You cannot.  A composite fill applies only to a composite wall, slab or roof (and shell in 15) as the cut fill for one of those elements.  It is not a fill that you can draft with, such as in the Profile editor.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
So, you either have to reconstruct the skins in the Profile editor, or you can use the commands  to 'capture' the profile of an existing wall (or walls) as a new profile .. and then copy the fills from this captured profile to your working profile.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
More specifically in your case:&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
1.  Draw a temporary wall using the composite that you need to utilize&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
2.  Select the wall(s)&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
3.  Design menu &amp;gt; Complex Profiles &amp;gt; Capture Profile of Selection&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
5.  A Profile Editor window opens with the captured wall profile - all skins, with total height equal to the height of the selected wall.  Horizontal stretch zone created corresponding to the fills marked as structure 'core'.  Edit/copy paste these as necessary into your further customized profile.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Cheers,&lt;BR /&gt;
Karl&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
PS  Note that multiple walls, at different heights and spacing (including air gaps), can be captured this way to quickly get a complex profile started.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;IMG src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/6078i0850F9472B2718AA/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" border="0" alt="Capture wall profile.gif" title="Capture wall profile.gif" /&gt;</description>

      <title>Complex profile walls, and adding composites</title>

      <description>&lt;DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"&gt;&lt;T&gt;Hello all,&lt;BR /&gt;
I am trying to figure out how to apply a wall composite that i made to a wall that is a custom profile wall. In the profile manager i can change the vectorial fill for example "Block Concrete," but i cant figure out where to apply a "composite structure." Any help?&lt;BR /&gt;
fyi, i am in Archicad14&lt;BR /&gt;
Thanks in advance!&lt;BR /&gt;
-Boris&lt;/T&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</description>
