This option is not present in the "Find and Select" criteria.
There is only Venner Patern Pen and Veneer Background Pen, but when I add either of those in the selection criteria, all columns, even those that DO NOT have veneer get selected.
Why is that?

I would use element ID after that to tell them apart for easier selection.

There isn't a way to do this. There isn't a way to select columns that have or don't have a veneer. I think this is a limitation

Just a thought but why not let the property object do the sorting for both veneer on and veneer off column types.

The veneer-fill-pen setting is not a solution, because the pen setting is retained also if the veneer is off.

Just a thought but why not let the property object do the sorting for both veneer on and veneer off column types.
Here is the Property Script of the property object I have created following Eric Wilk's suggestion from his great book:
DATABASE_SET "New grafpa db" n=REQUEST ("Name_of_fill", COLU_CORE_FILL, name_fill) n=REQUEST ("Name_of_fill", COLU_VENEER_FILL, name_fill) ouv="Οπλ. Σκυροδεμα C16/20" cod_ouv="03.03." : qua=COLU_CORE_VOL GOSUB 100 : GOSUB 101 ouv="Οπλ. Σκυροδεμα C20/25" cod_ouv="03.04." : qua=COLU_CORE_VOL GOSUB 100 : GOSUB 101 ouv="Οπλ. Σκυροδεμα C25/30" cod_ouv="03.05." : qua=COLU_CORE_VOL GOSUB 100 : GOSUB 101 ouv="Αντικολλητη ξυλεια" cod_ouv="10.09." : qua=COLU_CORE_VOL GOSUB 100 : GOSUB 101 ouv="Επιχιρισμα" cod_ouv="06.02." : qua=COLU_VENEER_SURF GOSUB 100 : GOSUB 101 END 100: IF name_fill=ouv THEN REF COMPONENT cod_ouv, STRSUB(cod_ouv,1,3) , qua ENDIF RETURN 101: IF name_fill=ouv THEN REF DESCRIPTOR cod_ouv, STRSUB(cod_ouv,1,3) ENDIF RETURNbut it does not work...

Apologies for the delay getting back to you mate!
I use the COLU_VENEER_VOL > 0 to determine if veneer is on in my own scripts.
I'll then push parameters from there in the master script for my labels.
(quick example)
rrr=REQUEST ("Name_of_fill", COLU_VENEER_FILL, name_fill)
IF COLU_VENEER_VOL > 0 THEN
PARAMETERS veneer_fill = name_fill
ENDIF
IF COLU_VENEER_VOL <= 0 THEN
PARAMETERS veneer_fill = ""
ENDIF
Hope that helps.
