Thanks so much!

Thank you! That seemed to fill the hole for me. I was looking at wall menus, not roof menus! One last question- what do I do when the upper part of the wall is an exterior wall, but the lower is interior? When I drew the exterior wall to fix the open hole, it did that but didn't remedy the visible interior wall adjacent to it (left of your marked image). That wall needs to be siding on the top half, but drywall in the room.

Hello! I have used Chief for a long time, but primarily for interiors/additions/etc. This is my first "whole house" project and I'm having a wall issue that I am stumped on how to fix. I am using X11. The house is 1.5 story, so I followed Chief's instructions (I attended their training this year) on how to build the roof and put the second floor rooms under the roof. The problem is that I cannot get this hole to fill in with an exterior wall. I've tried dragging walls in perspective, but it creates other errors. I've checked through a bunch of menus. I've moved walls, etc. My architect partner actually came up with the concept plan in Revit, so I imported as a PDF and traced. I've gotten everything else to work out except this spot. Several attachments-exterior view, interior view and floor plan view. I'm guessing I am completely overlooking the solution and would love advice. I am struggling to finish out the rest of the plan details until I can get this remedied! Thanks- Cassidy

I'm relative new to Chief and stuck on how to fix a shed dormer issue. I have a house with a 12/12 roof and I need a 13' wide shed dormer with a 3/12 roof on the second floor The bathroom is in the shed dormer. My problem is that I cannot figure out how to connect the interior walls to the shed dormer walls. If I drag the interior walls to connect, then I lose the exterior walls on the sides of the shed dormer and when I look at the overview, there are no "sides" on my dormer. But if I don't drag my interior walls to connect, then inside the space I don't have walls here. I'm guessing the answer is relatively simple, but I have searched all the forums and help topics and am getting frustrated with my inability to solve this. I attached the plan and the imported CAD line drawing that will show you what the final layout of this space will be, so you can see what I am trying to do. Thanks for the help.

I have a building with a very unusual roofline (see picture) and I need to fill the triangular space at the top with a wall and window... but the wall does not go down to the floor. I cannot figure out how to do that-any ideas? I also want to figure out how to make a loft space in the vaulted part of the back of this building, but am having trouble adding a floor and keeping it under this roof-seems like I need to treat it as a finished attic or a cape cod type house, but obviously the roofline is very unusual. Any tips here are appreciated as well. Thanks!
