A parametric wall is having different thickness at different levels. RCDC is unable to show the correct thickness. What may be the cause?

Note that whenever a single parametric surface is modeled and 2 different plate thicknesses are found to be assigned to a single surface, RCDC considers the minimum of the thicknesses obtained. If it is desired to have different thicknesses at different levels, then you should model separate parametric surfaces and then assign the desired thickness to different surfaces. Then only RCDC will read and show the correct thickness at different levels.
