Model a brick corner

Kaj_AL
Booster

Hi!

I'm digitalizing old drawings to make an IFC model of a building. It has a brick facade, meeting a plaster facade.

How would you model this kind of meeting?

It's a plastered concrete wall with a brick layer on the outside.

Thank you!

Could you have two wall composites, one with brick and plaster (red), one with just plaster (green)? Have those join as normal, and then have an L-shaped column via a complex profile that is only brick (blue)? That's one way I can think after a quick glance, but there may be others.
