siding stops short of roof

Hi,

 

any simple answer to why my siding stops short of the roof?  Is it a setting the the structure tab of the roof dbx?  The siding is stopping at the ceiling height.  I have 12" rafters, and a 6" fascia.  I want the siding to go up to the bottom of the soffit.

Seems like a bug to me but in this case checking the Balloon through option on the structure tab for the WALLS fixes the siding , the wall framing still stops at the rafter bottom, but a section shows two weird ??? I don't see in other views....

 

Is that a standard zipwall wall definition?  ( we don't have zipwall here , just read about it...)

thanks, balloon framing works! 

re zipwall, this is a special R6 zipwall.  It consists of 1" rigid insulation and 1/2" osb.  My standard wall assembly is 2x4 with fiberglass batts and the R6 zipwall.  I think having the continuous insulation over the studs makes more sense than high R in the wall cavity, but then no insulation at all the framing members (studs, headers, etc).
