Hello, I need to draw a polygonal wall with plaster that runs around the perimeter.

Which is the best way to draw it?

One way of doing it is by modeling the plaster using straight Wall segments.
Another way is to create the whole geometry in the Profile Manager Dialog, and place a Column element with that Profile.

Great,

If you want to use Partial Structure Display options, makes sure the various components of the Complex Profile are correctly set to "Core", "Finish", and "Other". Also, you should make sure the Column is classified as a Wall, which can be useful when scheduling and exporting as IFC.
