Hi,
I'm aiming to get a quite accurate BIM model so I wanted to make water isolation as a One Layer Floor. But now the foundation wall cuts it and that's not how it should be presented. I wanted to offset the wall from the foundation in its height but that's not possible. Have any of you encountered such a problem and solved it? Maybe you have some other workflow with which I could implement that?
Regards,
Emilia

I don't see what you are talking about.
If you mean you need to see a heavy line under the wall, you will have to modify this.

The heavy live is a floor with 0,5 cm thickness and I can't see a way to serepate the wall from the wall foundation

The wall does not cut this. It is joined and therfore each edge line is a thinner line.

I think you’re over modeling this detail. I’d show the waterstop in section view only, as a detail element. The footing (structural foundation object) is attached to the wall and it cannot be separated.
If you really need to model it, use a basic wall for your footing instead of structural foundation wall. Apply a sweep as your waterstop membrane on top of the wall – see picture.
Pozdrawiam!

Yeah, I agree that I may be overmodeling but on the other hand I want to have a quite precise model for the material takeoff. Modeling it as the wall sweep could be the solution because I will see that in the schedule but on the other hand I loose the information about structural element of the footing (modelling it as a wall when it's not) and I multiply the number of walls in the project. What's you usual workflow for this element?

Apply the sweep to the bottom of your foundation wall then - not to the footing.
I always address it as a detail element in section view, but I do not do material takeoffs.
By the way, if you join your floor (waterstop) with the foundation wall, it will cut the wall, so I think you will get a detail that you're after.

I was doing the waterproof layer as Finish 1 Function, so that's why the wall was cutting it. Now I've changed it to Structure and it doesn't anymore. The floor doesn't have structural function turned on so it should be fine as the Construction Team won't see it as atructural element. Thanks for your help because it made me check this option
