Hello guys, I am modeling a facade as the pic shows. Different window has its own up and below wall surface mat. I have stone foot,  white paint and grey paint. Then  how to model this kind of wall will be the best way? For 3D view and document both are ok.

Thanks!

The sides, top and bottom of the window opening will all be the same material.

The bottom you don't notice because you have a sill there.

Does the window have an option to place a small thin header?

Otherwise you may just have to add a beam, slab or morph there to do the job.

You will need to use Custom Profiles.

You mean, cut the wall into several part and each part as a custom profile wall?

Thank you! I tried your way. And good but up the window there is a face that the mat can't be set to a custom mat. If there can be set, that will be great!2021-10-07_22-42-03.png
