When it came to the risers which are the building block for achieving height at my table, I did not want to have a standard wall height and a higher wall to accommodate them. This is where the wall toppers come in.
Example of Wall Toppers
The toppers can be thought of as very low walls that can be floor height or a little taller as in the case of the ones I'm designing. As you can see from the example, the toppers are used to connect the walls to the floor seemlessly. There are different sizes for the wall toppers including IA, BA, and A (pictured below) and I plan to add D and Q. The wall toppers I designed here are just a continuation of the pattern of the wall and when placed on a wall with locking pins, it just looks like a higher wall. Of course other designs are possible, but for the effect I am trying to achieve, I went with the same pattern.
Wall Toppers
The slots on the bottom of the wall toppers fit into the locking pins of the walls and have ports to connect the toppers to floors.
Wall Toppers Connected to Floor
The idea is to completely surrounds the risers. A combination of walls, floors, wall toppers, etc. can be attached to the riser.
Walls and Floor Connected to Riser
The wall toppers are designed with a different slot size on the bottom than your standard wall. This was done so the wall toppers can overlap multiple walls which can be needed to cover the O, I, or L column pieces. Using the wall tessellation is what sets a wall topper apart from a floor piece.
Wall to Wall Topper Tessellation Comparison
The idea is the toppers need to straddle the locking pins so they can accommodate the columns.

I plan to include a set of wall toppers with the full height and half height walls once I have those complete.
