I'm finishing off my basement, and am having some issues figuring out
how to properly build the walls to follow my foundation structure.
There is a bay door that the foundation walls follow and I want to
frame it out to keep the shape.

I searched to find some pictures or a design on how to do this properly
so that the drywallers would not have difficulty putting in the
drywall..

Suggestions?

Rip your framing with a table saw set on 45 degrees

Are you meaning to frame the steps area leading to the Bilco door?
If so, why bother?
I framed my basement and when I got to the stairs area, I just framed
the basement wall for an outside insulated door and left the stair area
as it was. I insulated well around the door framing. The locking
insulated door served as a more secure basement, as well as providing
more insulation than the Bilco door. From inside, the door looks like
any other door to another room or to the outside.

Right, what if I don't have access to a table saw....

Are there any other options/methods?

Clamp a two by on edge in your Workmatel walk down it with your skill
saw set at 45.

On an inside corner, you can butt two by's at a 45 degree angle. An
outside corner is just the reverse of an inside corner ... you can
float the corner as a second choice.

Wouldn't you want to rip the framing at 22-1/2 degrees?

If you cut each wall at 45 degrees and butt them together, you'll end up
with a 90 degree turn.

You cut one at 45.
