In plinths, this is generally simply chamfered. In other parts of stonework, the set-off is generally concealed by a projecting string course. In parapets, where the upper part projects (or is proud of) the lower, the break is generally hidden by a corbel. The portions of buttress caps which recede one behind another are also called sets-off. The term for a set-off near ground level is water table, often sloped at the top to throw off water. == References == - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 12 - Asset and Facility Management]] - [[Design/Building Typologies/Commercial Architecture]] - [[Design/Building Typologies/Educational Architecture]] - [[Design/Building Typologies/Healthcare Architecture]] - [[Design/Building Typologies/Hospitality Architecture]] - [[Design/Building Typologies/Industrial Architecture]] - [[Design/Building Typologies/Residential Architecture]] - [[History and Theory/World History/Ancient Architecture]] - [[History and Theory/World History/Classical Architecture]] - [[History and Theory/World History/Contemporary Architecture]] == Bibliography ==
