Overide surface in the 'Slab Selection Settings'.

I thought about that but that does not work as it does not add the necessary thickness for the stucco to get the same even plane.

Add a small piece of wall the proper width and height.

Could you elaborate a little further how I do that?

If your stucco is 1" thick, make the wall 1" thick and match the height that you need. Of course, put it on a layer that will not be visible in your floor plan.

For this type of condition I sometimes use a Morph instead of a wall. Basic reason is that Morph are not affected by PBC.

What's PBC?

I don't get it.
When I give a wall and a slab the same surface it looks the same.

To clarify, some elements are automatic in their PBC collision like Wall and Slab and Beams for example, some require connect (in the context menu) for example Wall or Slab with Morph.

I know you know, but just for reference to others. I think a thin Composite Wall just with the finish or extend the above Wall down to the base of the Slab. This would clear up best in Section between the above Wall finish and the thin Wall in front of the Slab. Either way, regardless of the solution or element type if the two finishes are flush and are the same surface, then they will clean up in elevation (no line between the two surfaces).
