How to cover the edge/periphery of a composite Slab.

Hello Friends,
I need a suggestion regarding composite slab. I am having difficulties while trying to cover the edge/ periphery of a composite slab.
How can I cover the edge/periphery of a composite Slab.

When you say you want to cover the edge of the Slab, what do you mean by that?
Do you want to create an edge profile?
Could you draw the desired result in 2D and post a screenshot about it? Or draw how the section of the Slab edge should look like?

I have no idea about edge profile.I don't want to use complex profile. I didn't use it yet? Please see the attachment. This is an composite slab made of Rcc in core and plaster on both side . I just want it's edge to be covered with the same plaster

The easiest way to get this done is to draw a beam along the slab, i think.

Dontknow has shown a good solution, but if it is just a 3D visual problem you can simply use the edge surface material override. At a more detailed level, if the slab is supported, (they usually are), then the slab could be built into the supporting structure and Priority Based Connections (PBC) would take effect and the wall finishes could cover the edge of the slab.

You can't give a thickness to a edge surface material override (I think ).
This also shows good in a section.

What mr. dontknow proposes is one solution, another one is to cover that edge with the finishing of the wall or the composite you are using. Check this video. Its in spanish, but what i mean starting at minute 11:30
