Wall and Slab Intersection in Section

Anonymous
Not applicable
How can I make a Wall and a Slab intersect properly in section?

I made a compposite wall and a composite slab with the same priorities and fills and I have "Enable Skin Priorities" switched on.

In the section window they intersect proprly only when the Slab touches the Wall. When the Slab touches the inner Composite's line they do not intersect at all!

I guess your illustration is different from what Kliment is trying to achieve.
He has addition skins ABOVE the Slab's structure which he wants to not cut into the Wall. This is not possible to do right now, as far as I know.

The wall is a complex, it finishes at the underside of the concrete part of the slab and has a return to the inside face of the wall and has another wall below. You can see the slightly different background fill colour of the concrete. The wall is brought to the front so the other wall fills hide the top and bottom finishes of the slab
So the return (horizontal) part of the wall visually joins with the slab

Now I am confused, because I do not know how many Walls are there.
So, a couple of questions:
1. The Walls are single-story or multi-story (I guess single-story). Maybe you could number the Walls for us.
2. Is there one Wall or two Walls on one story on the attached picture?
3. Does the body of the Slab reach into the masonry Wall?
4. Is any of the Walls SEO-subtracted by the Slab?
5. Is the Slab SEO-subtracted by any of the Walls?

See new picture
2. Is there one Wall or two Walls on one story on the attached picture?
One
3. Does the body of the Slab reach into the masonry Wall?
Yes
4. Is any of the Walls SEO-subtracted by the Slab?
No
5. Is the Slab SEO-subtracted by any of the Walls?
No

The walls are in front of the slab... I have moved the walls apart vertically for the picture

Hm, interesting solution, but it works.
Now, there is only one question left: what if the outer edge of the Slab aligns with the outer edge of the structure of the Wall. This is a situation I encounter often. I will not to do it that way because I need to export the Slab contour to the structural consultant.
