Dormer walls cut off

Hello All,

 

  I'm migrating from X7 to X10.  This is my first plan in X10.  Could someone tell me what I'm setting up wrong in X10 as far as the two 2nd floor dormer walls getting cut off.  In all other versions of the program they wouldn't.  I think I've tried every combination of setting including trying to manually drag up the wall but still nothing......Is there something obvious I'm missing that needs to be set up implemented in the last few version?  Thanks.

They both should be full height walls.  Neither side of the roof is cutting off the walls but something is making the walls stop below the adjacent to it.  It's kicking my butt.  I never spend this much time on something simple like this but absolutely nothing is working.  I even replaced the roof that seems like it was cutting the walls but shortly after the new roof was cutting the walls as well even though the roof is NOT over the walls........

Chief seems to be  getting confused because that roof single roof completely envelops that wall.  In other words, if you look at it in plan view, the same roof plane exists above the wall, below the wall, to the right of the wall, and to the left of the wall.  It seems you can fix it by just splitting that roof plane into 2 separate pieces...

I get into this same situation with dormers when I try and just use a hole in the roof plane when I only have that very narrow section of roof at the peak like you do. Michael's suggestion is the way I usually have to resolve it - make the roof plane 2-sections.

Thanks Michael and Mike!!!  That's exactly what I did a little while ago.  Seems to be holding out for now.  I'll have to keep that in mind in the future.  It hasn't worked that way in X7 or before.  I wonder which version that started popping up in??
