How to make wall, with different stone types/colors

Ferre

I'm working on this project with walls, with different stone types (color white and brown). What is the best way to make this without using a different wall in front of it? and not making 2 different walls stacked on top of eachother? Thank you

Use complex profile wall. 
You can add modifier to make stone division level adjustable.

Yes, a complex profile wall is the answer.

Ideally with modifiers so you can adjust heights and widths, even footing sizes.

Do you need to cut the wall into smaller sections to have different heights using this method? Or can you keep a full wall as one element but make "cuts" in the modifiers?

The modifier adjustment applies to the entire length of the wall.

So if you want adjacent walls with different heights, yes you have to split the length of the walls.
