I have a wall, consisting of brick and CMU, that I need to turn small corners. It wont cleanup of corners that are less than it's width. The wall cleanup tool doesn't fix it. How can I make this work? Thanks.

you might need to break the wall up into multiple layers and place each one separately - for instance you might have a wall built of core layers and one of just exterior finish

Yes, I thought of that but windows/doors will only cut an opening in one wall.

Use Join Geometry and the doors and windows will cut both walls.

( Not sure about the multi-wall solution to your orig. question, though. )

cheers

Yes, the opening will be cut in both walls but, unless you modeled your window/door/etc. in a specific way, you won't be able to push the window/door/etc. into the space between the walls. So this approach will likely require new families as well.

It gets complicated doesn't it!

Heres the little known trick for your problem - if you click the blue dots on the wall ends in a certain order it cleans up. (you have to hold your tongue in a certain position as well!).
Refer attached video (had to zip it up to attach it)
