I'm not clear exactly what you are trying to accomplish but it doesn't look to hard for any recent version of ArchiCAD.

Maybe start edition doesn't help me for this purpose cause i want to create isolated columns and beams (see picture) and have my lists and 3d filters correct. Is it possible or i can't without profile manager?can i only buy profile manager for SE2010 and can this solve my problems? i should mention that i use eco-designer for energy buildings and i want to design the real thing. (if i upgrade to archicad 14 can i use my projects already made?)<BR /> </T></DIV><BR /><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Snap_2010.10.25 20.04.png" style="width: 589px;"><img src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/12177i851DE488B7BC982F/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Snap_2010.10.25 20.04.png" alt="Snap_2010.10.25 20.04.png" /></span> Fri, 26 May 2023 10:31:50 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/need-complex-isolated-columns-and-beams/m-p/120135#M63527 Anonymous 2023-05-26T10:31:50Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/need-complex-isolated-columns-and-beams/m-p/120136#M63528 i just want to follow the building structures exactly as they are here. take a look at the picture of a typical house with external isolated columns and beams while walls have isolation in the middle.is it possible?please reply cause i have been trying many hours to create this form but i can't.
