Bottom material showing up on sides of floor

Hello,

 

For quite a while now I've had this problem, which doesn't really cause damage, but it's annoying. In Revit I define a floor of a certain thickness, and under that floor I define another layer for the formwork. The end result looks like this:

The brown material would be the formwork. So, the floor apparently has formwork on the bottom, and the sides.

 

Except it doesn't. When I schedule the formwork material, I get an amount equal to the bottom of the floor which is what you'd expect.

 

Anyone know how to keep the bottom material from displaying on the sides? That color on the sides can sometimes lead to mistakes: someone will think formwork for the sides of the slab is considered, and it's not. 

 

The slab configuration looks something like this:

You could use Create Parts to show different layers.
