Hand cut may be an option 

 i can't open you r plan, a pdf may help, have you tried turning off walls attic layer or moving attic walls on the attic level, or build a new floor level  to #1 also copy and paste roof opening for 3 rd dormer

This will help to make your floors and ceilings the same ht

Make sure baseline is the same hight 

 He repaired a leak in the area when the house was approaching the end of its 2 year warranty.  The leak is back. 

This makes the builder part responsible 

if its a leak the roofer it should not be a leak criket or no criket ,  on new construction is 10 years warranty 

This may be an option 

As long as you have enough  shear wall 6"or 8" wall  will do it, for the picture you may need steel it has no shear wall

I also had seen other engineers using 2 Hardy steel walls on top of each other 12' high steel on the bottom and 8'high steel on top 

Do a plan check make sure you have closed rooms 

it might be an invisible wall delete it 

2 layers of 5/8 drywall = 1 hr  fire wall check on that most of the inspectors don't pay attention to the 1 or 2 layers  1 layers = 30 min 

You could open the wall check ballon through celling above 

Check layers make sure you have a closed room post the plan 

it looks like you stil have interior casing and sill checked  uncheck  it  

Doorway with no interior or exterior casing no threshold 

Not a window passthrough with no casing 

No casing 

I would make it a wall 24" or 36" with a  doorway and a passthrough

Under wall structure tab ballon through ceiling  above it may fix it 

I use a 1" wide ramp
