Top is a slab with a slab edge. Bottom is another slab. Join them.

create the 2 slabs

create a Model In-Place , Family Category can be Floors, Generic model or Walls

Create a Sweep

set the material from Model In-Place the same as your slabs.

it's better to use @ToanDN solution...

if you need it parametric and can use it in many projects make the part as a family.

i don't recommend using model in place if there are other solutions...

I agree; certainly if you need to use it multiple times

i don't recommend using model in place if there are other solutions...

Don't be offended but i personly don't like the slab edges that much i have much more control with an Inplace solution.

as for my self i prefer to use family as i can use it in other projects and also many projects i worked in limits the use of model in place in the BEP .

but i cannot say model in place is not a solution 🙂

You can always change in-place to family in 5 sec 🙂
