Rectangular openings in curved walls

Victor Pop

Hi, first time poster here!

I'm having a situation where:
1. I have 1 composite load bearing wall on which I added a rectangular opening
2. I added a curtain wall
3. I added an additional interior non load bearing wall with an additional rectangular opening for the purpose of hiding the curtains when opened, and creating blackout in the room when they are closed.

You can find an image of what I'm trying to explain here: https://ibb.co/Xzx2P6N.

The first issue is that I can't create this from a single wall, regardless of my Closure type or Reveal type of the rectangular opening. perhaps anyone can help me with this.

Second issue is when this identical situation happens on a curved wall. No matter how hard I played with the settings, it just doesn't display right.

See my take on this here: https://ibb.co/c6QrQPK

Can anyone please lead me in the right direction, or explain how I can achieve this from only 1 rectangular opening, not 2 of them on 2 different walls, or if this isn't possible, any other alternative?

Thanks!

If you are using multiple walls, you have no choice other than to add a separate opening in each wall.

However, if you are using 24 then you have the new opening tool that can be placed in one wall and then other walls can be linked to the opening so it also cuts those as well.
