Can you let people know more of what you are trying to do?

Have a look through the HELP files / manual this should help a lot and answer a few of your questions.

I can not find your section either, just the image of the fill.

Sorry to say, but there is no easy way to do this in ArchiCAD.

My be you should have a look at ArchiRuler 2 http://www.cigraph-store.com

There is a new function that allows you to take a fill an lay it over existing fills in, for example, composite walls.

HTH.
Cheers.

You might consider doing this with a line versus a fill. To create a insulation line is relatively simple. In you composite (other post) you would have to "split" your center part of the composite to allow a line in the middle.

Unfortunately you can't use symbol line types in a composite.

That's right - hopefully this will be changing soon!

In the meantime I suggest using the InsulFib library part in the ArchiCAD Library right over the top of your sections & details. It is very flexible - you can stretch it all over the joint using editable hotspots.

Cheers,

Yea,
I hope so too. Although, as you said, the insul lib. part is great it would be really nice to be able to use our symbol line types in comps.

Cheers.
