labeling different sides of composite wall finishes

Hello.

I’m working with composite walls that have different finishes on each side. I need to label them based on their respective finishes—for example, one side should be labeled as WF-01 and the other as WF-02. It's important that the labeling tool correctly identifies which side of the wall to apply each label.

I’ve tried setting specific rules in the Property Manager using composite structure names. While I’ve managed to extract both finish IDs, I’m having trouble getting Archicad to distinguish between the two sides of the wall.

I also experimented with a few custom labels (not GDL-based, but simple ones created using autotexts and lines), but I keep running into the same issue.

Is there a way to achieve this correctly?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I wouldn't do it that way. You could create a property to say if the that wall is painted or not, I am assuming that by default would be painted anyways and then another property that specify the tag for the paint itself( PT1,PT2, etc) do could schedule without creating a thin layer in 3D
