You need to place it on the block to the side of the slab, otherwise the engine thinks it’s a new building.

if you attach anything to a building and you place it (where you physically click not where the block is) underneath the building it won’t attach and will be it’s own building.

Try building a column down from an overhang, each slab in the column will be seen as a new building to the engine.

Of course there’s a work around. Naiive builders, however, will have problems with this and it will cause confusion. If you place a similar block on the side of a built up wall it doesn’t express the same behavior. Obviously from the screenshot you can’t see that my cursor was aiming for the side of the column not underneath.
