Wall Connection Problem

Hello,
Does anyone know how to fix the wall connection problem I have in the attached picture? I have tried to change the connection priority on both the foundation wall and the stone wall and nothing helps. The walls are all complex profiles.

your lower block walls are higher than the bottom of the brick wall

Yes, I have a foundation wall with a stone ledge and a stem wall that is 8" higher than the stone ledge. The upper wall with the stone is a complex profile with the stone veneer extending lower than the bottom of the wall. Should I create a separate wall or complex profile to create the stone that covers the band board? I don't want to model the stone with the foundation wall because on my foundation drawing I want the cut plane to cut though the stem wall only so that the stem wall only has the cut fill and the ledge shows up without the cut fill. I have attached a picture of what I am trying to achieve.

You can space your stone wall 1" away from the foundation wall - then the two walls will not react with each other --
