How do I get a clean chamfered wall corner?

See attach.
This is a simple polyline wall with three segments.
I tried the wall-end tool which gives me an extra unwanted line in elevation. Same result with a small piece of wall modeled with the polygonal construction method.
Cheers,

Polygon wall at the junction?

Mats,
make all 3 segments with one polygonal wall.

The model is being used for 5D so I don't want the small extra wall piece with it's ID (which I as a work around can tag "Hey Estimator dude...disregard this one...").

It has to be "BIM-correct" and still give me a clean join in plan view and I'm allergic to 2D patches.

I'll have some more coffee and maybe I'll come up with something-

any way you have to model this with 3 walls (or one unique polywall).

attached results if you model it with 3 walls. I tried it with 2 normal and one poly or 3 normal with the third one's thickness adapted to the situation both give a good 2D result

Of course, you can assign a special ID to the tiny wall bits as shown in Til's solution. Too bad the ID field won't allow a text string as long as yours. 🙂

But, if really for 5D, then think about how you would actually build this wall: there is extra labor involved in joining walls at non-90 degree angles, whether frame/timber construction or masonry. So, it almost seems to be a small benefit to have this extra bit - which can have that extra labor cost assigned to it. 😉

that corner needs to be a tie column

off the subject:
til,
interesting toolbars. checked out your website but can not read french.
what is your archicad bim add on?
thanks!

Mats,
The only way around this to create a "clean" image automatically in plan without having to cover or patch is to create a new composite for the small end wall that is as thick as I have shown in the attached image.
Not sure how this will affect your 5D info but this can be the wall that creates the extra cost for non-standard construction that Karl mentioned.
