My first guess is that the walls are "inside-out", meaning that the exterior side of the wall is turned inwards towards the center of the pier, not the outside of the pier. Select a wall, and look for the mini blue arrows about the center of the wall

You'll have to create this finish as your own custom material.

These will affect the "cleanup" of the walls. There was a suggested order of the materials listed in an old thread somewhere. You might try searching for it.

Typically, the best practice is to always use one of them for the exterior finishe, and the other for the interior finishes of wall "layers".
