I'm having an issue where I have a stacked wall for a three storey building.

I have two kinds of stacked walls. both similar construction but with the only difference being the exterior finish:
1)brick for one floor, stucco for two floors
2)brick for two floors, stucco for one floor

When these two walls meet at a corner It seems like I can get the wall to join properly for only one level, and I can't figure out how to get it to display properly without sketching over the corner for the affected floors.

It seems even if the construction thicknesses are minimal, revit can't figure it out.

anyone else have this issue, and found a solution?

Why not use individual walls instead? It's a lot easier to control.

I agree, use seperate walls. I don't get along with stacked walls and rarely use them. I only find them usefull for walls with varied thickness such as stepped walls in a Victorian property but that is always an existing condition which needs little flexibility (fixed dimensions) but for a new design I would want each section to reference a level. You can right click the walls and 'break them up' but remember to tidy up the vertical constraints.
