Thanks to all that offered advice. Finally fixed the problem: set the "wall top height" to default, and checked the "balloon through ceiling" in the wall specification dialog. Easy as that, but I can not explain why it now works. The only other thing I had to do was align the upper and lower pony wall to the inside surface.

Thanks Eric. I tried deleting and reflecting the roof - no change. I did realize that your previous picture showed an area at the other end of the house, which I had discovered and fixed. Let's hope, for what it costs to keep up, that there are some real differences.

Eric - thanks for your determination. I rotated the plan. I had it rotated to create site plan. I saw what you meant about the roof base line, so I made it parallel to the roof edge. I couldn't determine what the angle was prior to adjusting. This didn't seem to help. I am enclosing two pictures showing the upper wall. One shows how I have defined the upper portion of the wall. It is only the left part of the wall, adjacent to the rear roof plane, that displays incorrectly. I tried disconnecting one of the perpendicular walls in the garage (laundry room) and this made more of the wall display incorrectly.

Hi Eric - you cross sections look quite a bit different than mine. The latest version I have is 5, and I get very different results when I reverse the wall; just the opposite of what you get. Maybe there was a bug in version 5 and older. It's not a big enough problem to worry about too much; it just bugs me when things don't work the way I expect. Hi Javatom - I have not had problems with the spray can, but I will keep an eye out, and try to use it sparingly. Thanks all for the advice.

In looking at help under material, it appears to me that it should list both the pony wall and the upper wall.

Solver: yes I tried reversing wall again; same result, it just put the sheet rock finish on all of the upper wall. Lower wall is sheet rock both sides anyway. Alaskan-son: In materials it only list the pony wall, which is the lower wall, so both sides are sheet rock. Keep in mind that part of the upper wall does display correctly as an exterior finish. The right two thirds of the area is correct, and the left one third is not.

Thanks to all that have responded. I have tried plan in both x3 and x5; same result. I tried setting to default "display in plan" under wall type; no change. When I use spray can, it change both lower wall and upper wall to the selected wall type. It is only a portion of the upper wall that displays incorrectly. When I select the upper portion of the wall, it selects all of the area - both the correctly displayed and the incorrectly displayed portion.

The gable end garage wall is set to be a pony wall with wall board. The house wall above the garage roof has exterior bead board siding. In a cross section, or rendered view, a potion of the exposed upper wall appears as sheet rock, although more than half of the wall shows the exterior siding. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe New House.plan
