I am using Revit Arch. 2010. I have a foundation wall that is 2 CMUs high (24"). The wall transitions from CMU to 4" brick veneer as it goes up to support the exterior wall. Am I able to create a stacked wall that is 2 courses of CMU with a brick veneer on top that will automatically go up to the Fin. Floor level? (The fin. floor level is where the exterior wall for the first floor will start). OR do I have to create the stacked wall where I have to manually put in the 2 courses of CMU and the necessary courses of 4" brick? OR would it be better to use 2 different wall systems where I would offset the brick veneer wall 24" from the base constraint? (In this case the base constraint would be the top of footing where the CMUs would sit? Attached is a diagram of the footing and walls of which I speak. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

should be able to drag that brick layer to wherever you want it- in a section view- if that wall layer is not locked..

You can unlock adjecent layers in walls to make them independant from the core.
