And then draw a rectangle representing the outer border of that wall. And another one on the inside. Let's then turn off the 2D layer, which is a dash wall, and then convert these two red rectangles into regions, and then subtract, select the larger region, enter, and then the smaller one, enter. And then move this object over from its corner right over the model, and snap that to this corner right here. Then extrude this region down to the base of the wall.
