Another vote for stacked wall components. I have to create this wall condition in VW... Thanks, Rudy Beuc

Wall styles should be able to have different components (brick, CMU, concrete, wood framing, etc) stacked vertically atop one another. For example, an 8' high cast-in-place concrete wall supporting a 6' tall CMU wall directly above with a ribbon strip window above that should be able to be a single wall style that cleans up to other walls and has all of the behavior of a regular wall. After much experimentation and a posting to the forum, it seems like the only option to a single style is to manually stack completely separate walls with individual "styles" atop one another and manage all of the alignment and other mechanical issues by hand. Walls with different components stacked atop one another is a common detail and VW ought to either be able to handle them as a single style (preferred) or VW ought to prominently publish the work-around and include it in your various VW University articles and PDF training manuals. The ability to handle "stacked" components smoothly and fluently style is really a necessity of a modern CAD/design software.
