For corners of octagonal turret rooms, bay bumpouts, etc., what are you doing to frame at corners so there is full corner nailing both inside and out?
For 2×4 walls, a simple rip of 2x can nail in there, in between the flankers of full 2×4, whose inside edges meet at the inside corner. For 2×6 walls, it takes a makeup of two thicknesses.
TrusJoist makes a 135 degree stud section that can be used, but I haven’t explored it, and doubt that all of their distributors are stocking it.
What do you do?

regardless of the wall thickness, we frame the stud corner to inside of plate joint. and rip the 22.5° to fit at exterior

Excellence is its own reward!
no matter how you pack material between the studs, I'd run steel straps - 24" linking top and bottom plates, maybe the same or 16" at R.Os. And perhaps wrap small straps around the studs and jacks.
good call...I forgot about that little detail that we always did on corners where the ply won't overlap.
