The issue is, I am left with a line showing the separation of the two slabs on the existing floor plan. I find this a bit messy and it's not how I want the existing floor plan to show. How would you tackle this problem? Is there something I could do in the slab settings or perhaps that renovation tool settings to fix this? Or do I just need to put a white fill over the line?

Actually, this is not ideal because when I look at the "new contruction" filter it shows the entire existing slab in yellow as if it is being demolished and also in red is if it is being reconstructed.
It would great if there was a way archicad could recognise that a slab is one element before demolition, then after the event it splits it into two slabs

I could make a whole discussion out of this but basically I don't see anyway around this as the math is impossible. It's like A=B and A=C but B≠C. And I can feel Graphisoft's pain as I used to control this with layers before the reno tool and trust me, the logic and the layer list gets complex and long.
That's why when I model I do the as built first because it exists and isn't changing, then I duplicate the grade and then modify that for the proposed. I rarely run into situations where I have to go back and modify the existing as it exists. But I have used the reno filters for new construction and variants and there are times when I have to be careful because I have to be careful to modify both slabs.
Everything aside, I could be giving you bad advice since this is just by experience and someone may have a better, or the correct way of doing this.
