Another wall join problem (three different walls at an angle)

I have three different wall types that should join at the same place. In plan everything works fine, concrete joins with concrete and insulation covers them up. But the two exterior walls have top extension offset and the interior one keeps punching through it, visible in elevations and 3D.
I tried turning wrapping on/off and combination of them, didn't help.

Can't use disallow join then Join command since they're at an angle and the result is weird.

This seems like an angle problem, not wall type problem. The same thing happens even when trying to join two same walls, and the Walls join command simply does nothing to switch them around, which it usually does. The "vertical" one just keeps taking precedence over the angled one.

I see.  You might want to separate the exterior walls to different walls.

I use doors and windows that use void extrusions to create openings, not "Opening" object in family, and such families unfortunately don't punch through multiple walls when they're joined.

But I had a similar solution, create little insulation walls, "plug" those holes and join them.

Let's wait a little, maybe someone has a better one.

You can patch the holes with an architectural column family. Or, don't cut the host wall in the window family with the void, set the family to cut with void when loaded, and manually use cut geometry on both walls with the window in the project.
