How to join a straight wall to a complex wall

Above is an image showing the area where I need to have the straight wall join the wall of the sphere. Please note that the outside of the sphere is recognized as a wall and not a shell. At first I thought of using the "merge" function but AC won't let me do that. I tried extending the wall through the sphere and out the other side and then trim the straight wall but all that did was remove the wall back to where I started. I would have thought that AC would know where the sphere's surface is and thus automatically trim the straight wall but that doesn't seem to be the case. The only other thought I have right now is to trim the end of the straight wall so that it has a curve that matches the curve of the sphere and then moving it so it butts up against the sphere and then stretch the other end to mate with the round vertical wall. Any suggestion please.
Thanks

Hello Barry:
Thanks for the help and I will give the SEO a try but actually all I wanted was for AC to extend and cut the vertical wall at the outside edge of the sphere. I find it odd that when on tries to extend the vertical wall into the sphere that it only extends to the closest edge of the sphere. It's like AC doesn't really know the boundary of the complex wall and as such cannot combine with it. Below is a picture of what I was trying to do. It shows the original AC attempt and a model that I created in my 3D solid CAD pkg, exported as .3ds and then imported into AC. That took only 10 minutes to create and is for show as to what I want to do. The unfortunate part is that while what I imported is a GDL object it doesn't allow me to place windows, doors or openings into it. I'm hoping GS will come up with a solution that will solve this issue without having to create something that is later hidden.

How is this?
2 profiles and walls automatically cut - no SEO involved at all.

However it seems only the box profile cuts the sphere profile so you would still need a sphere object in a hidden layer to SEO away the part of the box wall inside the sphere.

The result with the SEO sphere hidden.
Took only a few minutes all up.

Thanks Barry.

Hoping someone at GS sees this and can create a solution where both complex and simple profiles can blend together like 2 normal walls.
