Hi, this is my first post. Thank you in advance.
I want these three walls to connect cleanly. Please see attached image below for the exterior blue walls and the interior red walls

You need to look at the Building Material priorities for each part of your composite wall structure. You also need to consider the active edge of the walls. If you can share screenshots of the Composite Structure of each wall type and the Building Material priorities of each material associated with both those composite structures it will be easier to understand and help.

3 walls trimming, it is best to try to have all of the wall reference lines join at one point.
Then you can adjust the junction order of the walls to influence which wall trims to which.
Higher number trims lower number and same numbers trim each other (but one will still dominate the other).
As in this image, but I don't have internal and external building materials for the external skins set up properly, so they are not trimming.
You will want the core to be the strongest building material, the external skins slightly weaker and the internal skins weaker again.

No matter where you decide the Reference Lines to be, if they do not meet, the walls or beams will not trim to each other.

And no matter where you decide the Reference lines to be at this end of the wall, it's probably the wrong position at the other end. 😔

Thank you. As mentioned in my reply to Lee Hankins above, my 3 reference lines do not meet at a single point. Is there a way to trim the three walls like attached image while their 2 exterior reference lines meet at one point, while the reference line for the interior walls remains separate?

As you can see, I am redrawing very old documents where all the exterior dimensions are measured to the exterior finish, and all the interior walls are measured at the center points of the walls. Thanks for your help!
