I don't know what I am doing wrong but I created a wall type for the side basement walls on a walkout basement. The transition does not work when I edit it. I must have it set up wrong. Can anyone help me set it up correctly?

Make sure Transition Materials Height is checked on the options tab

The Transition Materials Height was checked. 

This worked in the past and just didn't work yesterday. I worked on it for over an hour with no success last night and then shut it off and went to bed. This morning I opened the drawing again and it worked like it should. Go figure! What a waste. 

It must have just been some sort of glitch. Oh well, I will move on.   :unsure:

How does the new split wall work?

Keep in mind the transition wall height cannot go above the specified wall height in the wall definition. (clear as mud, i know).  I was hoping to build (1) screen wall at say (8') then transition as needed to accommodate whatever scenario.  Learned after many alterations the transition cannot exceed the specified wall height in the wall definition.
