Split BUS into 2 sub-BUS'es - How to do in QII Schematic entry?

So I read multiple posts about splitting BUS in QII but all these are describing example where bus is split into individual signals. 

Very helpful, but I have different problem.  

 

I have 16-bit counter with outputs as bus  

q[15..0]. 

 

these outputs must be connected to two individual ram blocks address lines,  

one memory block has 5-bit address, another has 10-bit address: 

m1[4..0] 

m2[10..0] 

 

how can I assign: 

q[15..11] to connect with m1[4..0] 

and 

q[10..0] to connect with m2[10..0] 

 

? Thanks in advance.  

:confused: 

 

p.s. I also appreciate help in similar but more advanced example when splitting same counter output bus [15..0]  

and assigning to 8-bit addressable memory blocks as follow: 

 

q[15..11, 2..0] to connect with m1[7..0] 

and 

q[10..3] to connect with m2[7..0]  

?

You just draw 2 bus wires and name each bus wire appropriately. Just name one wire q[15..11] and the other wire q[10..0]. Just right-click a wire and go to its properties to name it.  

 

The second one is a little trickier. I don't know what the naming would be for splitting q up like that (been a *long* time since I used schematic editor), but it's all in the naming.
