Hi, I'm now using OpenStudio to input my space constructions. I have some radiant heating floors in contact with the ground. And some of the exterior walls are partially buried, e.g. for space 101, part of the NW wall is underground.

I know I can define these constructions using "internal source constructions", "C-factor underground wall constructions", and "F-factor ground floor constructions". Below is an example of how I define the construction set for space 101, when I opened the .idf, I noticed the floor is only exterior wall is specified using "Exterior Surface Constructions-walls" without anywhere showing the underground wall feature. And the floor is specified using "Ground Contact Surface Constructions-floors" without anywhere showing the heated floor feature. Do I need to draw these walls as partially above grade and partially below grade in Sketchup, and underground floor as well? How can I do it?

I'm struggling with how to input this complex floor construction, and wall, what is the correct way to do it in OS? Thank you in advance.
