Edge of stucco wall shows framing rather than stucco.

Most houses I design are pueblo style which have varying heights of parapets.  When I have a variation in height, the edge of the wall shows framing rather than stucco.  These extra lines mess up the elevation views as well as when I show the customer in 3d.  Anyone have a remedy for this?  Thank you!

Most common methods would be using:

 

Moldings
Wall Caps

 

But you can also use:

 

3d Solids

Roof Planes

Ceiling Planes

Cabinets

hmmm probably forgetting about 20-30 other methods that are more creative..

If the stucco is an exterior layer, Chief should wrap it around the edge. However, for a parapet wall, you could use a pony wall and a different wall type for the upper portion that has stucco on both interior and exterior (or a waterproofing layer on the interior).

Or, you can edit the parapet walls on the attic level.

That's how this was done, and I used a wall cap molding for the top.
