get rid of the fill and make the footing (lower piece) a complex profile. Otherwise, if you keep the lower fill you'll need to mask over the joint with more fills and lines.

are you drawing it with the wall tool? If so it's probably a display issue (probably set to cut only).

Is it possible the wall is shorter than your "cut plane"?
Try Projected with Overhead.
