Knee wall

How do you get that 2x4 off of a solid railing wall?

So that it looks like it is just plastered on top.

You don't, but you can open up the railing tab for the rail and make sure it is the same width as the finished width of the wall, and then change the rail material to match that of the wall. The result is the rail disappears in render view, and all but disappears in vector view.

Is this close to what you want?

I don't know why I didn't think to make the railing the same material
Thanks guys. the only thing now is the railing seems to stop a little short of the end of the wall so it looks like there is a notch at the end?

Cap it with a slab, molding polyline, etc.

There are many ways to do it.
The point is learning how Chief does things and then amending them to fit your specific needs.

Changed the material on the railing to same as wall ( that worked). Put a slab on top and made the material same as wall ( that also would work). But theirs still a little notch on the end. Mike, what did you do at the end to get rid of the notch on your wall??

There are several solutions, each with good and bad reasons to use them, because some of the steps have consequences that may matter (or not.)

This picture: I drew all railing walls.

For the stone wall, I made that railing wall invisible.
Then I drew a polyline solid in back clipped cross section and shaped it.
Then, in plan view, I moved it into positions and sized the width appropriately. I had to move it in/out/up/down a bit to make sure the existing railing walls didn't bleed through.

The question is: What do you want to show?
Homeowners want to "see" things. Sub-contractors what to "know" things.
