Maybe is better to assign a beam (with priority as you had before) to another layer and give this layer a higher priority, for example 2. Because the priority of layers is probably higher than intesection priority, But I am not sure if there will be a good connection between the insulation beam and the insulation wall, then you probably have to give all the insulation element to this layer.

But you just have to remember to do the update for the layer combination !!!

Building materials priority.  You have to give your beam the same or higher priority for building material than the wall.

Then, how can I model the cross section like this?

You have to give your beam the same or higher priority for building material than the wall.

In main menu choose Options/Element Attributes/Building materials,  you can find there "Intersection priority" and give for building material of beam  higher priority then building material of the wall.

Thank you so much ^^

Insulation does not need to be combined
The plasterboard and other materials above must be combined.

I just give you the answer, you can just check if it works or not.

And to combine or not, you have to decide for yourself.

 

But you can always duplicate building material using it for special cases such as you have with this beam.

Because the beam is invisible by intersection priority.

If it were you, how would you make it?
I am a beginner.
