This is a question on methodology: I have been taught to "model it like you build it" so I'm trying to live by that, but when it comes to walls that are stacked with different materials, some of the walls wrap only a short distance around the end before they meet up with an intersecting wall. When they're so short that they don't join properly, I'm left wondering if I should just break the wall construction up into a backup wall and an exterior skin. Any thoughts for discussion would be great. Otherwise I'm probably going to just end up doing what we all do in the face of deadlines - whatever it takes to get it done. (not the most efficient method by any means).

If the exterior 'skin' is the same thickness and it is just a material change then a compund wall might be a better solution than a stacked wall. Compound walls allow you to split the vertical composition of a wall layer up into differtent materials. The only catch is they all have to be the same thickness. This might be useful though if you have face brick and it just has a different banding pattern but all the same thickness.
