Help with curved drywall return

I’m trying to model curved drywall returns around an interior doorway/opening — similar to a Southwest/adobe-style slightly rounded drywall corner, not applied trim.

I’ve tried:

  • A standard Doorway with casing and jamb removed for a wrapped drywall opening
  • A custom rounded molding profile as casing, with 0” reveal
  • A molding line/polyline with a custom bullnose profile
  • A custom “corner cap” profile with an inside 90-degree notch

In each case, the result still reads visually as separate applied molding/trim rather than the drywall edge itself being rounded.

Is there a better Chief Architect method for creating true rounded drywall returns at doorway openings? Or is this only achievable with a 3D solid / custom symbol / material workaround? I’m using Chief Architect X17. Thanks!
