How to Align Stone Walls

Please see attached for the stone wall being used. 

 

I am modeling the following sketch:

The front door is inset about 2'. You can see the floor plan below. When modeling the front face of the stone tower, I used 3 walls total (marked below on front elevation). As a result, the stone pattern is not aligned properly as it would be if it were 1 wall. This has never been a problem with brick because I can align brick, however; with this stone I cannot align it (that I know of). You can see from the front elevation that the patterns do not line up.

I've also tried modeling it with one wall with a cut profile, however, you can see the floor plan below which shows that the walls do not truly  wrap around as they should in the inset area creating a different issue:

How are stone walls typically aligned?

First check where the pattern would align itself.

Draw the detail line between one pattern to another pattern that matches each other

Press tab to select the hatch and use move. Then use line as reference point

When you complete, the pattern should connect with one another.
