there are two perpendicular double brick walls, which have a 40 mm gap in between them. I want to make them join like the image below, with each layer being continuous unlike what Revit gives me. I have used a wall joins command but had NOT worked out for me.
Wall Joints
The layers of the walls (Masonry & Masonry Brick) are of two different materials they wont join the way you want them to...
You have several options...example...Duplicate wall type (Double Brick 270) and make the internal wall (highlighted in the image below) of two similar material (Masonry) to that of the internal layer of the perpendicular wall to which they are joining or should be joining
I have tried your advice and this is what I see which is different to what I need. The reason why I sometime slike to double post is to draw more attention to an issue which is tricky and could benefit the community as well as me . It appears many members have overlooked this post because maybe a couple times which I was tired I posted simple questions which branded me as a novice with worthless questions.

U Need to use more than one wall and more than one type ... and you Need to explore more 🙂
example: In the Image below I used 2 wall types
- Types 1&2 are similar...I aligned those with the layer of the internal wall
- Closed the external gap with a wall type 3 which consist of only 1 layer of the same material as that of the external wall exterior layer
- Joined the external layer to each other
another way is to compose the walls from two types joined together...the above is easier
In addition to the materials you must also pay attention to the "Function" of the layer. The selections on this first column in the wall type editor do make a difference as they assign additional priorities to the clean-up solution.
In the attached image:
Wall type 1 has the same wall materials for the interior and exterior layers and are assigned to the same function: Finish 1 [4], with an air layer assigned to the Thermal/Air Layer [3]
Wall type 2 is the same except that the exterior layer is assigned to the function: Finish 2 [5].
By assigning the exterior wythe to a different priority we tell Revit to treat that layer differently. Play with those values (Function and material) and you will see the many different combinations that are achievable.
PLEASE HELP. This is the result I get . It doesn't look right and I am SURE I have followed every piece of advice pedantically. a while ago I was told I should do begginers course but now I realise its just Revit whch wants to be user unfrielndly and complicated. I have attached the file for perusal

If you want the cavity of one wall to automatically join with the cavity of another wall at an intersection, change the properties of the wall type, making that cavity the only layer in the core. Revit joins core to core. In this case, a number 3 with a number 3, and since this is the only layer in the core, it will always make those joints in the same way.
@Alfredo_Medina thanks for your tips. Just a question this only apply if they have the same materials on bothsides (structure 1). what happen if they are not the same materials on bothsides line will cross in the middle. please see attached. thanks
GOt it on top of what you mentioned I need to allow join by ticking on that sign there after I was done.
