I have two walls that are coming to gether at an acute angle. One is a thick solid wall. The other is a thin wall made of a glass material (not a curtain wall). I want the thick wall to be solid and the glazing to but into the wall, but the glazing material is continuing through to the corner. See the attached image. Is there any way to get this corner to clean up automatically? The only success we have had is to dissalow join and edit cut profile which does not make for a very editidable situation. We are at the beginning of Concept Design and fast/simple editing is essential.
Thanks for your help.

Highlight the thin wall.
Right click, select disallow join.
Pull it back with the grip point.

cheers.........

Not sure if this is what you are after, but what if you "Paint" the end face of your thick wall.

It should then show correctly?

I quickly tried a similar scenario and noticed the same result. But after I painted the edge face it removed the glass extension from the end face of the thicker wall and still showed the accute angle on the thicker wall.

what about a short solid wall at that angle and but it into the glass wall.

You will need to use an in-place family void in the wall category to cut the wall at the desired angle.
