How would one setup a partially underground wall. For example, the
spaces in question have two wall types on one face - a portion is
underground and a portion is above. These are two different wall
types and the grade slopes along the wall so the two walls are
trapezoidal in shape.

Chris,
You need to create a new polygon with the same width (x) and height (y)
of the existing wall. The new polygon will only have three vertices
instead of four. Create a second wall, using the same location as the
first wall (such as "V1 of Space Polygon") and using the new polygon.
Create another new polygon for the opposite triangle and apply that to
the existing wall.

Keep in mind that there is really no benefit to modeling a triangular
wall if it is easier to setup standard rectangular walls with matching
areas. This is obviously assuming you're only talking about one space,
there are no tall windows that you have to fit at the fully exposed
portion of the wall, etc.
