Hi Angus,

As in the pic (done in SKP), I want the outer surface/side of the slab to have 2 different finishing material/color (say yellow and white).
Is there a way ?

Hi all,
Thanks for input. Two-slab is what I thought of
But with one slab, can we do it ? Is there a way to split the surface ?

Please advise.
Many thanks

Hi all
With two-slab solution, is the joining lines (between slabs) on the floor plan visible ? If so, is there a way to hide it in the documentation drawings?
Please advise.
Many thanks

Why do you think your colleagues have suggested the two slab or wall veneer methods if there a magic way to do it otherwise?

make the slab edges white lines to hide them and if you dislike that, use the wall veneer method.
