Fitting Wall components to sloped slab

Hello there,

I'm currently working on the terrace of a house, and I'm struggeling with a few things.

First of all, my biggest problem: I'm trying to fit the lower part of the insulation component of the wall (red "1" in the picture) to the tapered Concrete component of the sloped slab of the terrace (the slope is for water draining purposes), so that the lower end of the wall component slopes in the same way as the concrete slab (number 2). I can't figure out how to do it, so maybe you guys can help me.

 

 

 

Now, a secondary problem I'm facing:

No matter what combination I try in the slab style editor, I can't manage to get the drains to be sitting on top of the sealing (or water-proofing, don't know the english word for it) layer of the slab while keeping the concrete component as the tapered component. I'm pretty sure this is a quite stupid question but I'm having a hard time solving this so I figured I'd just ask.

 

 

 

Now my last question is more for my personal information: I'm still a newB to VW (hence the questions above), and I want to learn how to use this software in the most complete way possible. So I was wondering if there was a way to model this situation so that it ends up being exactly like it is going to be built IRL (sketch added below).
