I'm trying to place a curtain wall in a composite wall - 3.5" metal stud with 4.5" of EPS foam on the outside. For the floorplan, I was trying to get the curtain wall mullions to connect to the studs in the composite wall.

I was able to get straight storefront to connect properly in one wall but have been unsuccessful for a corner wall. I tired using both the standard curtain wall as well as a chained storefront. See the attached document for images captured from various methods/types I tried.

Any suggestions on what to try?

It looks like your issue is related to the Wrapping at Inserts and/ or Wrapping at Ends parameter (type parameter per wall type). If you set this to do not wrap then the finish (foam) will not wrap and your curtain wall will connect to the studs.
