Until I noticed this in a project while solving an unrelated issue, it never occurred to me to consider how our teams were doing this. Attached is a stripped project with a door family that greatly simplifies getting this to look correct in plan, section and elevation without having to create a whole bunch of individual walls.
Drawback is that if you want to tag the walls at the recess, you do not have "real" separate walls. But if you handle it with a detail callout instead, it is much simpler. Also, if you care about the gyp bd wrap, the void solution will not make the result as clean. But at 1/8" scale overall, we decided it did not matter and was another detail callout.
Just made this last night and have not thoroughly QC'd this for our network. Need to adjust the flexing to accommodate the hold-open size also but you can adjust this for your environment if the idea has appeal.
