I tried creating complex walls and columns(see fig)
it shows a line between plaster for wall and column.Prority for wall plaster skin is adjusted higher than the priority for plaster skin of column.

these lines will show up everytime when:
your two elements have different layer Intersection Group Number
your two elements have different fill type

you dont have to put plaster on culumns...just put it on walls and connect them...they will wrapped plaster around culumn ! check pic

Wrapping Method: Not available for Profile (Complex) Columns.

When placing a Column that will intersect a Composite wall, your choice of Geometry method - wrapped or unwrapped - will affect the display of the wall/column in the Floor Plan.
Use the wrapped/unwrapped (or “freestanding”) icons from the Column Info Box or the Column Settings dialog box to determine how the columns will be interact with composite walls.
Wrapped Columns can only break through the core skins of composite Walls. The other wall skins wrap around the column, retaining their thickness.

if all skins off your wall are assigned as core then nothing will be wrapped around.

Plz, assign correctly core skins and
Wrapped Columns can only break through the core skins of composite Walls. The other wall skins wrap around the column, retaining their thickness.

if you have all skins as core on your wall - nothing will wrap around culumn

you must have some skins assign as finish or other !
those skins which are assign as finish will wrap around culumn!
try it !
