Fills in Archicad. How to do this?!

How can I have fills that are placed inside wall layers, are automaticly alinged with endlines, can create custom fills and apply them to any layer

Composite Walls seem to answer your issue.

Options> Element Attributes.

You don't give him much to go on. This is the second time today I've seen you ask that question and I still have no idea what you are trying to do.

It might be easier to understand if you could spell.

O.k.
First look at the pic. I posted previously.
There you see 2 very known fills, thermoisolation (green) and parquet (orange). This drawing is crated in Autocad and its a cutaway of a RC slab with fills that come above the RC core.
If I was to have a slab like this one in AC, yes, I would go to Options>ElementAttributes>Composites and then define my own material, skins, their thickness...Theres no problem here
But since there are no such patterns (thermoisolation, parquete...) in AC, I decided to go and make my own. So I read the manual and started drawing my custom pattern ( eg. Thermoisolation) that I would apply to one of the skins in my composite slab.
When I was finished I selected the pattern, hit copy, went to fill types, new, selected symbol fill, then pasted the pattern I draw previously.
Thers no problem here.
The problem is that the pattern I draw is never alinged inside its skin.
Look at the pic. attached.
You see a cut thru an RC slab. On the right you see the fill I created so that it matches the layer thickness ( 5cm) in the slab.
The pattern is seamless but how to put it in the right position? Look at the blue cross

You can't have an composite fill to fit exactly in a composite if you don't draw your wall/slab etc. at exact right place.
Else you have to do this manually with 2d tools.
