Hello,
I have started Revit Architecture 2019 tutorials for a couple of weeks now to revisit what I had learned several years ago. I am in the beginning levels so I may have missed something but here is the issue I have been running into:
Created an exterior wall type, 2 x 6 wood stud, gwb interior, plywood sheathing & wood siding exterior. I used the family editor to Modify and unlock the exterior two layers of sheathing & siding so that I have the ability to them down past the wall base in order to cover 6" of the rim joist and base foundation wall. That works like a charm EXCEPT when I look at the corners in plan and see that the wall join is a butt connection where the edge of one wall is not a finished edge (see attached images). I have tried adjusting the Wrap setting for both walls to no avail.

Please LMK if I am doing something wrong or if this a known Revit issue; if the latter is there a workaround?

Thank you much for anyone that replies!

I’ve stopped using this tool a long time ago just because of that.
A few things you can try:
1. Miter wall joint, or
2. Model your siding and plywood as a separate wall from 2x framing, or
3. Lock the wall layers back together and extend the entire wall to the bottom of siding and join the wall with the floor and foundation wall. Unnecessary part of the wall will be cut out. As a side note, you’re missing a sill plate on top of your foundation wall, imho.
You don't need a wall wrap.
