you simply have to "cut" break the walls into their respective types right where you have those dots.
you need to create various wall types....8"CMU plain, 8"CMU with brick face, 8"CMU with interior stucco, etc.....different wall composites and break the walls right where you have those red dots.

this is an autocad dwg, so it was just for reference.. i have the different wall types made.. on autocad its selecting an endpoint.. with these smart walls, its a little more difficult.. but my problem is stopping on wall type.. than starting a new, how is that process done?

thanks

I believe you can accomplish what you need to accomplish with the different wall composites by using the "priority settings"....try that.
adjust the priority settings (move them up or down) and see how that makes the walls react.

good luck.
