Concrete Column Graphics showing as CMU

Help, so I disallowed join of the CMUs on both sides of the concrete column but the column is showing the same graphics as the CMU instead of the solid grey. Other than pulling the CMU away from the Concrete column by half a mil, how do I fix this? Below is the desired concrete Column Graphics

below is a column having the same graphics as the CMU on both sides (CMU is disallowed join).

Do not stop the cmu wall continue thru the column all you have to do is go to modify tab/Geometry0click on joint arrow and select Switch join order. Click on the column first and cmu second. it should work.

I wonder if that would also solve this problem ( see screen capture below)

So architect linked our model to their model. the problem was that their walls are showing passing through our columns (the 2 lower columns) how we solved this problem is, we( the structural guys) unjoined the geometry of our concrete columns to our structural concrete walls and slabs (see 2upper columns, desired result by arch) problem is, in our structural model, we now have lines in our column/wall intersections (see below)

and it's not how we want it. we want it to show like below.

do you know how we can do this without messing up architect's graphics?

I notice you walls and columns have the same hatch. If you have the same material in you columns and wall they should clean w/out any problem.

okay let me see if I understand. When the arch. links you model to his the walls run thru the structural columns?  If that is the case I think he need to change the Discipline to coordination

Yes, walls running through our structural column and they don't want that. their floor plans' discipline is coordination.

If it look right on you model maybe it could be something w/ the Arch. Model template if he is using templates.
