There are a couple of options (besides the patch tool).

One is to make the brick veneer as a separate wall. The cavity walls can then clean up nicely and the brick will angle into the bay. Now that you can set line types and pen colors in composites, the paired walls can look the same as a single composite. This approach has the disadvantage of having to make duplicate empty openings in the veneer wall.

The other is to make the corner shape with the polygon wall. The composite should clean up to it properly. This is probably the simpler approach.

I thought I replied this yesterday, but it musn't have uploaded.

Anyway, if you make sure the 'stud' skin of your composite has the same fill as you stud walls, then it should be quite easy. You just need to intersect the composite wall with the angled stud wall (Tools>Line Extras>Intersect) then select your two stud walls and intersect them in the same manner. Whooshka!

It is all about the order!
