Corner Mullion Condition

[mbootsUJVFW]

I'm currently working on modelling an existing building with a number of unique corner conditions for mullions and interior storefront walls, i was wondering if there's a good or reliable way to model this type of mullion join condition: 

 

The nearest i would assume i could get would be to use two different storefront walls and use one of the corner mullion types on the join, and make the second wall very, very short, but i feel like that isn't the correct or proper way to make it, and would be very buggy. Is there a better way to make this type of corner mullion, especially for buildings with lots of strange and unconventional angles?

Seems "correct" and "proper" to me.  That's the way I'd roll.  In this screenshot example, I end up with a tiny 1/16-inch extension. That's probably closer to the real life condition of the fabricated aluminum mullion than 0-inches would be.   😉

No, this isn't correct... I'm not trying to join two different curtain walls, it's a curtain wall connecting to a standard wall. Hence, using corner mullions for the curtain wall doesn't work because the other wall isn't a curtain wall, and so the corners default to a 90° angle since there's no adjoining curtain wall.

 

I've considered in certain cases just making the other wall a curtain wall as well, but with no mullions and using the correct wall type as a panel instead, but I feel it might run into bugs with that method and lose functionality in other aspects.

No issue here.

Is that a storefront wall connected to a standard wall, or a curtain wall connected to a curtain wall with a standard wall as its panel type? because every time i try to connect a storefront to a standard wall and change the mullion to a corner mullion, i get this error message:
