What do you mean by chamfer? <<< BAD term here I think.

Do you mean join a normal wall to a CW at a 90?... at a 45? ... or at a 90 but miter the join?

Please clarify your question.

I am trying to mitre two different wall types at a 135 degree angle. One wall is a curtian wall at 90 degrees and should stay at that angle. The other is a gwb wall and currently the curtain wall mullion is interesecting the end of the gwb wall.

I would like to mitre the end of the gwb wall at 45 degrees to the curtain wall mullion.

You are still not clear because I think you are talking angles in plan and maybe elevation.  If you mean the CW ends with a normal 90 in plan and intersects a wall at an angle in plan?  Then turn off the wall joins for the CW.  And add a vertical in-place vertical void to cut the end of the drywall wall with a 45.

You have it right. The scenario is competely in plan. I will proceed with your suggesting that the two walls wont actually be joined.

Thank you for the tip!
