Where is the Damp proof course/membrane ?

Hi,

I'm looking for a simple fill that will represent a damp proof membrane. I've looked unser walls and slabs but I can't see it. I've searched google and the only link is a GS one but I don't understand how it works

Where can I find this fill type please ?

Thank You

Hi, I use a FILL (self made) for this purpose (for slab and wall composites).
In Sections 1:50 is clearly visible.

Hi, Yes I;ve created soething similar to that. I don't think it matters that I can't represent the membrane in 3D...

Any idea on how I could do this ( see image ) ? I think it would be quite nice to show as well as the sections etc.

Thank you

You would model it separately.

As Erika said, model the elements separately, and cut them with solid element ops. But, modeling for a technical illustration like that is different than modeling for construction documents, as typically, one would not model (e.g.) the gypsum separately from the wall, nor model the insulation as shown. People do model illustrations like that in ArchiCAD ... but typically not as part of the building.
