Slab-on-Grade w/ Frost Wall

Is there a way to do a house foundation that is a slab-on-grade with a frost wall? I've attached a section I grabbed online that shows what the client wants.

There is probably an easy way to layout that foundation but I haven't figured it out yet.

Anyway, I appreciate any help.

Thanks for your time

We do these all the time here, and I struggled with this for quite a while too. This works for me, you might want to tinker with it to get your appropriate thicknesses, heights, etc to fit your needs.

I do this routinely and the notch for slab is 3" which is easy for the concrete guy with 2 thicknesses of 2x lumber.  

 

In the pic attached you can see how I used a molding to fill the void, 3" wide x slab depth thick, at the slab edge, because Chief only models the slab to the foundation line.  Maybe there is something I am missing.
