Concrete Wall with Brick drop capability:

The outside half of the wall is Unlocked which allows it to create a brick drop:

The issue here is that in plan view and in section view it shows the a line in the middle for the corresponding two concrete:

The wall should be solid concrete with no middle line:

Work around: I can use a stacked wall and have the bottom portion be solid concrete and the top portion be the split concrete lip. This works in plan view but not in Sectio view as seen above.

 

Invisible line Tool does not work either and usually just grey's the line out, but it still remains visible.

 

Any solutions?

One way is instead of using two layers of concrete in the wall assembly, use 1 layer and add a reveal either embed in the wall assembly, or directly in the model, to notch the wall.

What about joining the top and bottom wall?

Trying to remove this line while still having the brick drop feature.

The line between the 2 parts of the wall, gets the subcategory [ Common Edges ]. You can hide the Common-Edges subcategory of Walls in the VisibilityGraphics overrides.

It may be a solution or not,  because all other walltypes will/can also be affected.

Maybe I'm not understanding. Isn't that line in the Section View delineating the 2 separate walls at the core of the wall type?   

 

 

...this wall; right?

Why not just make the Wall 1-Layer that is 9" and overlap and join the wall above - or make place two 4 1/2" wall types of different height next to each other, and then Join 'em?   

 

...joining the top wall Base Extension to wall below it would remove the geometry at the union.
