Instead, why not simply have a a couple of ruin or construction end-caps handy (serving a similar purpose to endcaps in the Moonbase)? This way, if the wall doesn’t come around and meet itself, a reasonable explanation would be apparent in the display.

It would be up to the individuals participating at the display oh how to deal with walls that don’t complete. There could even be “in-process” walls, where little minifigs are constructing/repairing the wall. Either way, someone would need to make the decision - and that person would be the coordinator (or whatever)

It sounds to me like there may need to be a piece of software created that allows castle/moonbase display coordinators to plan layouts. Much like TrackDesigner helps Train clubs design their layouts in advance.

Great progress on the standard, by the way! Can’t wait to see the first one in action!
