Hello everyone

I have this concrete area of the wall (see attached photo) which I want it to be recessed. I did it already by using a second wall to act as a cladding and then with the edit profile I removed the area I wanted to be recessed.

I also tried to do it with stacked wall by making a wall with cladding on top and another one without the cladding at the bottom, but for some reason didn't worked out. I got an error message plus that only the conrete wall was shown regardless I set a standard height for the wall with cladding and set a vairable height for the wall without the cladding

The other way was doing it with parts, I did a wall composed of the structural layer (concrete) and the cladding, after, I tunred the wall into parts and removed the cladding. The problem here was that the parts coudn't been painted anymore and also, in the corner where the two walls meet, there was a line shown like the wall were not merged.

The way to do it would be with Stacked Walls.  Your concrete wall will be the one with a set height and the wall with cladding will be the variable height.

A stacked wall would work here but it may be easier to just split the horizontal lined wall at the wall break.  Then change the base of the left split to the top of the windowed wall and add that.

OK thanks, I'll give it one more try using stacked walls. I will report back if I have any problems.
