Window reveal question

Anonymous

I am trying to get a window with a reveal, ( please check the attached photo) I want to match W03, which was created using 2 walls. I don't want 2 walls, as I want to avoid having separation line between walls (reference lines are not aligned and can't be as we place the reference line of the external walls on the external face, for proper zones calculations) and also its time to develop the drawing and add some skins to walls and also I want that to be done properly " extensive use of Partial structure display on different views).

Now when I use reveal , I am almost there (W04) but I can't place the window as a flush on the inner surface, If I try that it will only reduce the block thickness , which I want to maintain (as it is in w03).Not sure how to achieve it.

Thank you.

quick update..

I tried other 2 solutions
w06 - two different walls ( different thickness) and a small intersection between them, but still the result is not perfect ( there is a small finishing part part missing )

w07- I used a column for the thick part of the "wall", however its not really practical , not to mention that I had to set the core pen of the wall to white to avoid having separation lines with the wall, which affects the line of the finishing " not that clear in the picture, but clear when printing or zooming"
