Is there a way to draw a rod and shelf object that clips a corner in an angled closet? I cannot see a way or any options to make the back edge of the shelf fit the wall angle. I'll add a screenshot to show what I mean. Thanks in advance for the help!

You may have traced too far.  Stop tracing the shelf at the inside corner of the back edge and it should fill in correctly.

You may have to make the angle at least the depth of the shelf for it to work correctly. Try a few combinations of shelf and walll length until it works. As Jim said, it should auto filll the corner, but I have come across a couple of scenario's where it doesn't.

On the flip side, is there a way to make it stop as a normal shelf on an angled wall? Mine always auto fills the corners, but sometimes I don’t want it to.
As soon as I get close, it fills in.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the responses, it looks like Keith was right. I increased the depth of the angled wall so that it extended past the front of the shelf and it matched the angle.

I think if you stop the shelf just a bit shy of the corner it will keep it square. If that doesn't work, place a hidden wall (set so it doesn't show in 3D or print) where you want it to end.

I don't waste time on tweaking, I explode the shelf and change the lineweights....done!  Works great unless Softlist needed for shelving or need to show 3d.
