I came across this in my project today and I was stumped: A wall that had a variable thickness for it's core structure but still reported 11-5/8" thickness. It's not modeled as an in-place family. It's an honest to goodness wall. Huh? How is this possible? How do you create something like this?

It is variable because each of those horizontal split regions can be set to different thickness.

Ah ha. I see. In all these years I've never used this tool. I've definitely modified the vertical section to allow for variable heights of layers, but never had a use for split region. Thanks for the help link to define which tool was in use. That helped find other links to see what it's used for. Have you ever used split region for defining coarsing like I discovered? Seems redundant if you use the appropriate model pattern unless it helps constrain coarsing dimensions vertically? That also sounds redundant. Trying to unpack the logic of why someone might create a cmu wall that way.

I have used the split region and even assigned a different material like brick in a block wall. Also works for recessed or stepped out coursing.
