With custom profiles would be an easy solution. Do a custom profile by drawing it with appropriate fills. These fills are each attached with a construction material. Save the profile with a name. Open beam tool, make it to use a custom profile you just made and draw a beam you had saved earlier.

You can mix profiles to achieve a net, for example. Just use another different profile, and draw it perpendicular to the previous one.

You can then later slice your beam(s) with Solid Element Operations (=SEO or =Boolean operator in some countries) if you need to. Just be aware of their priorities. Keep a higher priority with the cutting element, or it might not cut other elements.

I took a round part apart to demonstrate the stucture.

Dear Mikas,

Thank you very much for your help.
I see in "profile manager: there are no SLAB in "USE WITH".
I can assign deck floor with Beam, but in the schedule, does it understand that is beam or floor? How could we make custom profile use with Floor/Slab.

I am new user Archicad so that I dont know it works like revit or not?

Thanks!
