Joining Curtain Panels on Obtuse Angle

As the title suggests, can we join the Curtain Panels on a weird angle. and have a line showing the Mullions joined.

Plan Views of the CW

Original.

Proposed.

Red lines showing Panels joined (cleaned up) and the line in the Mullions. I am thinking it would just have to be Detail Lines and Filled Regions, but I try to avoid them at all costs.

Change the panels to a basic wall type of the same thickness and material.

I don't understand what I'm looking at in your screenshots.

I am familiar with "obtuse" though. Shawshank Redemption.

That could be a result. Will have to wait till tomorrow to try. I'm sure it will still tag as a panel. Yes/no?

Cheers

One of my favourite films. Maybe cause I am Irish.

Anyway the screenshots are from a plan. Showing a CW without a Million at the intersection. I want the glass to be frameless.

Ah! Plan View! You even said "Plan View" in your post. Guess I need to read gooder. 😉

Irish! I get it, Red. Good one.

So I'm envisioning a condition like this, where the mullions are omitted at the corners. So, if you don't want to replace the panels with basic walls, how about a "bead" mullion. That is, a small L corner mullion the same thickness and material as the glazing. Cleanup in Plan View could be done using the Linework tool with Invisible Lines -- if it matters.

...or, model a custom-shaped Panel for those conditions.

Thanks @barthbradley but the Wall suggestion worked.
