Curious if others might know the best way to do this. I want to show the tops of all the walls that you can see in the attached 3D view with the top angled similar to how its shown in the detail.

Draw a sloped ref plane and attach top of the walls to it.

Or are you asking how to model the coping on the sloped parapet walls?

In-Place Void Sweep cutting TOW would be one way to do it. 

 

...or perhaps not a Void, but a Solid Geometry representing the sloped cap.  

 

 

...or build  the cap into the Wall Type.

@skyeg321  we use a profile to cut the top and another profile for the extrusion,

I was just looking to make the cut then let the detail callout handle the cap but If I can model it in I just may do that! Thanks everyone.
