Complex Profiler: Help w/ making a part

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am trying to get into complex profiles and I need some help. Attached is a simple foundation wall & footing for use in residential projects. I want it modeled just as it has been drawn, with a light line separating the footing from the wall, and the rebar showing as well as the anchor bolt. I left the sill plate off because it may change from project to project...

In profile manager, you use just fills and lines are merely for construction, correct? When I make the part as shown, I lose everything except the fills....

The two separate fills for the foundation wall and the footing combine, and I don't want that. I want the line between the two. How?

Also, how do you add the rebar and the anchor bolt?

Ooops
Sorry about that Steve, obviously I had not thought the anchor idea through!
But you could drop them in if you were making an object of it, but that's not what you would be doing here, so my screwww up.
Don't sweat it...

Write to the moderator and ask them to post the list of banned words.
Way off-topic:
Here is the list of censored words:

[censored], [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored],
[censored], [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored],
[censored], [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored],
[censored], [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored],
[censored], [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored], [censored]

Just joking.

My point exactly!

A poster undergoes the mortification of using a forbidden word, even one so innocuous as "create a vacuum," when it is not even on George Carlin's Seven Words You Can't Say on Television [Before Deadwood].

Yes, I get what you mean.
So, anybody with a [censored] word in their post, do not feel branded just because you wrote in the word [censored].

See, even your moderator gets it.
