Ok, I have the wall type set up as you can see below. Only problem I am encoutering is the fact that it will not let me have different thicknesses for the three stacked items. For instance, stucco is not as thick as stone. But it will not let me make it thinner than it. It's like the face of each item is constrained.

Instead of making it in a single wall, create two separate walls & use 'Stacked Wall' to bring the two together if you need different thicknesses. If by wainscotting you mean a skirting board I would use a rail or a wall sweep separately to do this

I too wold use a stacked wall but I would also include the wainscot in a portion of that stack.  The wainscot might be an un-locked layer where you could adjust its height.

BTW - Stacked walls sometimes creates other problems so after initial placement of stacked walls, I like to break them up into their individual walls.  Right click on stack and pick breakup.

Well, I'm doing it like this intentionally. I want to have this type set up so I don't have to take the extra time in the future.

We have stacked walls set up for bathroom tiled walls... includes base - wainscot ... it is a thin wall placed against the stud wall then joined to it.

Try out the stacked walls as we suggested.
