Gable roof attic walls

Have you tried to extending the roof plane to the attic wall.  Do this by being in your first floor plan, and turning on the Reference Floor Display (F9), showing the walls above.  This should allow you to snap the roof plane to the attic wall.  Shouldn't have to tweak

Option 1...

Go to the default settings and look for general wall defaults. Turn on auto-rebuild attic walls. Go back to the plan and delete every attic wall that isn't quite correct. The auto-build should spawn new attic walls, nice and neat inside the gable ends.

 

Option 2...

Draw them in manually

 

Option 3...

Draw poly-line solid attic walls. I do this a lot on custom dormers when the program doesn't get them quite right.

I tried the hole in roof idea before and again after solver's suggestion. Again the program would not let me draw an attic wall completely across the gable. (only half the gable). To answer the other comment, I find it easier (and less frustrating) to get what I want by manually building the roof.
