    Unable to create terrain wall of different heights

    Hi, I am trying to add a wall around three sides of my property.

    The back section is 8' tall, the front yard sections are 3' tall.
    I draw a straight terrain wall on all three sides.
    I set the height to 8'.
    I try to insert a break in the wall, nothing happens.

    I create disconnected sections.
    Set the two different heights.
    Draw them to connect.
    The entire section becomes one wall and reverts to 8'.

    I'm using Pro 2014 5.2.1.3x32.

    Any ideas?

    Hard to tell from the description, but are you trying to create something like this?

    Hi, not quite, I'm not trying to create a retaining wall, just a regular concrete block wall between properties.
    But, the back and back sides are 8' tall, and the frontmost section of the side walls drops down from 8' to 3' as it passes the front of the house, and runs at 3' up to the sidewalk.

    Try using the Half Wall tool instead. You can place a break in that and set the railing height for one section to be greater than that of the other, as well as change the material to a concrete block.
