I am trying to miter a straight stacked wall to a curved stacked wall (both are the same type of stacked wall), but it is not working. Any tips?

I was able to Mitre a Curved Stacked wall with a Straight Stacked wall with the 'Wall Joins' tool ?
See attached image.

Michelle, can you show us what you are getting? Did dgcad just solved it?

Here is what happens to the wall when I miter it using the wall join tool. Sorry...just noiticed the plants are in the way, but I think you can see that portion of the stacked wall miter, and others don't.

Did you apply the wall joint tools-miter? Are both wall on the same plane/elev?

I'm confused with your question. I mentioned I mitered it using the wall join tool. And I provided a 3D image of the wall, so you can see it's on the same plane... Am I missing something here? I apologize ahead of time if I am being completely oblivious, ... perhaps you can expand on what you don't see in the images?

I think I figured out my own dilemma. The individual walls that make up each stacked wall don't match, and therefore Revit is mitering the walls that match on the mitered corner, but doesn't know what to do with the non-matching walls at the same intersection. I'm assuming Revit won't let me edit the profile of the plan view of the curved wall so that I can manipulate the way the wall joins another wall (thus the wall join tool, I get it).
Does anyone have any other suggestions? As you can see, the curved wall has an alternating brick pattern, and the wall that meets it at 90 degrees is mostly beige on top with a mauve band of brick further down. These patterns are supposed to end at the corner, so that is what I am ultimately trying to accomplish.
Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide.

As the comments above indicate the short wall length is probably going to be a problem.
The only way to edit the profile of a wall in plan is with an In-Place Void and that may be the solution.
Disallow Wall Joins (so they stop cleaning up automatically) then get crazy with In-Place Voids. One for each wall endpoint.

Thanks for the tips. I tried the in-place void but for some reason it wouldn't cut the end of my curved wall. I also split the short wall to start fresh with the wall joins, but Revit keeps crashing when I do that. My final solution to this is to simply disallow-join the walls and drag them to meet each other at the corner. Not the cleanest when looking from a 3D view (see attached image), but at least it looks acceptable in elevation.
@mhans - just to answer your comments, the wall are both stacked walls, but obviously with different brick patterns so they are 2 different stacked walls (not completely identical). That is why I thought that maybe Revit is having trouble mitering the stacked layers that don't match between the 2 walls.
I do think the comments about the short wall are valid, considering Revit keeps crashing when I try to manipulate it by splitting...
@dgcad - Please feel free to educate me about in-place voids. I may not be doing it correctly. I basically was in plan view, went into Components - Model in place - selected Walls then drew a void extrusion that started at the same elevation as the base of the walls and went up past their tallest point - then tried to cut one of the walls with it. That is what didn't work well.

What you can also do is to attach a rvt file with just those 2 conflicting walls so we can see the real issue.
