How do I create a half ledge in the corner of a room (I used the straight half-wall tool)

I want to build it out of 2x12 and push it into the corner (shown away from the wall in the iso views)

but when I do, it has double the drywall thickness on the long section of the wall

and creates a 2x12 on the end, Going to the ceiling

 

(I could draw it manually but I have other ones to add with different lengths)

Maybe try keeping it 1/2" away? Or used polyline solids instead of an actual wall.

If I us a polyline solid will it Generate the studs automatically (I have different lengths to add in other rooms)

You could probably make a new wall type without the drywall on one side.

 

How do I make a new wall type (and I am using x13) thanks found the answer https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/5454/creating-a-new-wall-type-with-a-new-material.html

it looks good from the inside but its still 1/2" away (a gap) from the back framed wall (because it does not cut out the back drywall)
