As a non native speaker this argument was easy to accept. But I just saw that in English the derived notion of "wall thickness" for arbitrary directed, walls exists (found it searching "wall thickness gauge"). Googling it one of the first non-building hits is this: https://imaterialise.helpjuice.com/desi ... -thickness.
Just want to mention there were also discussion something about separating the Arch specific Objects (e.g. Wall, Stairs ...) from the lower level, extrusion solid, even baseplate, or even .basplate outline / profile.
I am not sure if I understand this current discussion correctly but the original request from freecad-heini-1 and the proper way to implement this was to extend (improve) the PartWB Extrude (and actually also Part Design WB Pad) tool to have such functionality to be able to set a thickens to the extrusion. Examples in the first few posts of this topic show this idea IMO clearly enough or something like the image below for an example of implementing it for the PathWB Extrude tool.

I can only do some tweaking in ArchWall, definitely nothing for Part WB : )
freecad-heini-1 seems indicated improvement to Arch Wall.
In any rate, there seems to be usecases for Arch.
I see, it was my opinion that he only gave the ArchWB Wall tool as an example of a tool that works in a similar way... In any case, for a general solution it would IMO be best to add this functionality to the PartWB Extrude and Part Design WB Pad tools.
I apologize if there's been any misunderstanding. My English is unfortunately not good enough, so I use an online translator.
Whether you develop your own tool for part and part design, or like Saso even showed it in a picture, how the user interface can look like, is a matter of taste. In Part Extrude or PartDesign Pad, would probably be the best option.
