Does anyone know a better way of doing this?  The layers of Stacked walls are always set from the wall's base (or top) and therefore cause problems when they adjoin the same wall that was placed a few feet higher.  This same problem happens with reveals and sweeps.  Just look at the image below and you will see what I mean.

Let's say you want a band that goes across your entire elevation, but the finish floor is not consistent.  Would you then need to create a new stacked wall type for each time the base of the wall is at a different elevation?  It would be great if there was a way where the height of the stacked wall portions were based on a set elevation or a floor elevation rather than the base of the wall.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I don't know if I am explaining this very well, so just look at the image below.  If I want this project to look correct I would need 3 differnt types of stacked walls to make the horizontal lines line up.

Two thoughts ...

1. Use seperate walls instead of stacked.
2. Set your stacked wall to one level and sketch the wall to stretch or cut the bottom to the other levels as appropriate.
