facade decor - managing angle issue

Hello,
I'm trying to create a parametric decor for a building façade. It went really easy with a simple line, but as soon as I tried to work with angles to go around the building volume I couldn't find a way to make the angles work properly.
Here is what I'm trying to achieve :
Here are the 3 elements:
Here is my issue:
Any ideas? Thank you very much in advance for your assistance! I'm joining a .max file if that helps.

Please take a look at the attached file. I made the following changes.
- The RC object was rotated 90 degrees on the X-axis. I set this to 0 and reselected the Spline
- Changed the Segments' Alignment > Z to top. Changed the other axes to automatic.
- Enabled Rules > Bevel Corner and set the BC Offset to 50%
- Change the corner segment so that it was twice as large on the X Axis. This will allow it to bevel on the corners better without leaving fragments of the sides where it is cut.
I hope that helps,
Paul

Hello, thanks for your help! However I think you forgot to add the file. I tried to tweak the settings as you said, it's much better but not exactly what I need. May you send me the file please? Cheers!

Almost there, cheers!
Any ideas on how to ensure to have the shape number (1) around both sides of the angles (3),
so the pattern is always 1-2-1-2-1-2-(ect...)
1-angle-1
-2-1-2-1(ect...), as you can see on the 1st image of my first post?

Hi,
That should be possible using a Compose operator in the Corner input. You can then wire 3 to the first input and 1 to the second. Please see attached.
