I'm trying to develop a wall diagram that shows the different material layers. Is there a designated way to do this in Archicad? One method that I have tinkered with a little is the morph tool. I have been creating individual layers (wall materials) and then changing the nodes to show the different materials of the wall. I have attached an example of what I am trying to achieve.

Also, I might have not described fully what I am trying to accomplish. I have a real wall built in the model with the specific layers for the wall. I'm trying to make a "peel back" diagram. Meaning each layer would peel back a little further than the prior layer to show how the wall is built and to emphasize the differences in each layer.
Does that make more sense? I've attached an image that shows what I am trying to achieve. It shows different layers and annotation for each layer.
I would say one important thing is I'm quite new to Archicad.
Thanks for your help.

A structural wall can be converted to morphs too (right click the wall and choose convert to morphs). After that you can adjust all the structural parts independently. Use that companion menu with strech option (see pic). You would have to model any studs and some other elements separately though. You can use morph tool geometry more freely than a wall.
