Is it possible to wrap a split face. The split face does not wrap aound the corner of the building.

I know I can build a stacked wall but don't want to do that yet.

Thanks

Yes, you can. Try isolating the wall and then splitting that face. If you mean you want it to automatically wrap around, I don't think that's possible.

BTW, I'd probably model those as two separate walls. Stacked walls have been problematic for me.

Why not? Or take antman's idea of two walls. What is the benefit of the split face (especially if it's giving you trouble)?

I haven't decided what I want the wall to be yet so I am just "painting" various finishes on it until I finalize the design.

That's valid, but it would be just as easy to have a wall on top that is a different wall type. You can swap it out with other walls (or keep it the same as the one below) and try out different finishes just as quickly as painting and you won't have the problem you're having.

True. And using a level or a named reference plane to control the height of the transition would make adjusting the height a lot easier.
