Thanks guys, Very helpful information. When I get home I'll try the just pulling it up in an elevation view. To give more information the block wall is actually split-face cinderblock, and is not solid. The wall itself measures about 40 feet by 3~4 feet, There are actually skylights on top if you look up through the center of the wall. I understand just inserting openings and fireplaces, thank you, I see it's just like working with any other wall. My other question would be how to anchor the roof to this, if you look at the front of the house picture the roof on the left is actually lower then the one on the right, exposing a lot of the cinder block wall. How would I do this in CA? When I try to build the roof it always tries to connect the two roofs on the left and right, when they actually have no relation. Side note, I'm sure you guys already know this, but this block wall has caused all kinds of water damage, In general I would now say it's a bad idea to have a 1 wythe wall.

Hello, I'm learning CA and have ran into an issue with trying to do my own house, I can't figure out the right way to do it. My biggest issue is how do I create the center block wall that runs through the house? It has fireplaces and wall openings in it so how do I deal with this? Can I just use the fireplace tool and make a huge one and put a opening in it? The stone wall is made of 2 split-face cinderblock walls that basically cut and extend beyond the house as shown below. I guess i'm just looking for advice on how to create this in CA, I tried making a room that just extended up to the height, but it cut all my stone walls up in the attic (the stone wall just stuck out on both ends but not in the center where the CA said the attic was), and I couldn't figure out how to make the roof tie into this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
