I have tried all wrap combinations for my exterior compound wall at a curtainwall insert but none allow the brick veneer or sweep to wrap. What am I doing wrong?

It appears that the wall wrap will not work at "inserts" of a curtainwall.

Try placing a window in the wall, and notice that the wraps work as expected.

I'll dig into this a bit further and see what I can find out.

cheers

From the attached images it seems that the curtain wall is inserted into thinner sill wall, not thicker exterior, thus not cutting it.

The sill wall is actually part of the curtainwall, i.e. the lower panel of the curtainwall is a sill wall.

Yes wall wrap does not work for curtain wall insert within any type of basic wall element.
The good workaround is to place the curtain wall and then put a wall opening near the jamb/end of curtain wall in plan. The wall wrap works good with wall opening, considering it an insert.
I have also used wall opening at the corner situation where the curtain wall is supposed to become a sort of a corner window, without the wall opening inserted near the corner at both wall ends the wall segment remains there.
