More wall corner types

It would really help if it was possible to dictate how one wall cleans up with another at corners - rather than a sharp corner, often a bevelled or rounded corner is needed. Composite wall skins should follow the chosen shape of corner

Not so nice if have to fudge corners by introducing a third element - and achieving clean up with third elements often very tricky & time wasting, if not impossible without resorting to fakery (2D patches)

Is a simple fillet/chamfer of the corner not really what you want?
It does introduce a 3rd wall but it is very easy.

The problem arises when the fillet radius gets smaller than the wall width.
Then you need to start modelling each leaf separately.

Hi - in all corners I am talking about, the fillet /radius is smaller than wall width. No problem with adding third wall if not a fudge/ is a valid entity in it's own right - such as in large curves like you show.

For the standard corners I mean, modelling each leaf separately not really a cure as radius smaller than a leaf - and even if not, it opens the whole can of worms with door & window openings no longer being created automatically right through all leafs.

I tried a workaround with a profiled column but it wouldn't work in 3D (vertical edges don't clean up). Since there seems to be no acceptable workaround I have voted "important" on this one.
