Does anyone know how to get this to work?

I have a layered wall that is just 2 layers of Cast-In-Place Concrete.  The exterior layer is unlocked so that it can be dropped to create a brick ledge. 

When 2 segments of this same wall type come together at a corner, I cannot get it to wrap properly if the ledges are at different elevations (see image 1)

I want the 12" thick portion (or interior portion) of the wall to have a typical corner join even if the 5 1/2" portion (or brick shelf portion) are at diffent heights...(see image 2)  Image 2 was acheived using 2 different walls, a 12" wall with a 5 1/2" wall next to it.  I'd like to get the same result by using a single, layered wall type

can this be done?

If the ledge steps near or at the corner, I doubt that you will be able to control this.  Instead I would try, letting the high side be the setting for the wrap at the corner, then adding an in-place void family placed to cut the ledge how you want.
