I cant seem to get my wall corner and joint to match up correctly. The higher wall is cut back with about a 1 of wall missing in the top 5 feet.

The 20ft return i have around the corner wont blend the materials. I'm trying to elimnate the line between the metal cladding above the CMU blocks. 

See attached photo.

It seems like a simple task but i cant seem to figure it out. Ive tried a few tricks with no success. For the corner I've tried trim command, edit wall profile, and using the join command but it doenst seem to work. the other corner is fine, its just seems to be this corner of the parapet causing all the problems.

*the file was too big as a BMP.

So what your saying is basically there is a small section at the corner of your building where the wall has dissapeared at the parapet level?  I could not see your attached image, but i have a feeling i am thinking of the same thing.

Is this correct?

Do you have different walls connecting at different levels?  If so, split your wall horizontally at this level of connection change.  You can always join the walls in elevation so you don't see the split line.

Is my photo not appearing? Ive tried to edit and reattach it but it doesnt appear on my thread.

But while I was doing this i tried editing the wall jusification and it worked! so i fugured i would post the thread anyway incase anyone else was wondering.

It seemed that the shorter 20ft wall was assuming the outside position on the wall corner, by changing its justfication to interior face, i was able to butt that wall into the taller 25ft parapet wall.

Have you tried joining the two assemblies together?

Either way, i don't believe it shows up when you render.  I think it just shows up in the model.

your right, it does not show up in a rendering. sometimes i just use a screen shot to get the idea across instead of a fully detailed rendering, but its a minor detail and i was just curious if it was fixable.

it still shows up in elevation view with hidden settings on and realistic settings. for my priting purposes i do not wish to render the elevations

You can use the Linework tool to hide the line if all else fails.
