Can't Connect Interior Walls to Auto Dormer Walls

[alexpwalsh]

I've tried searching F1 and the forum for this to no avail - is there any way to get an interior wall to connect to an auto dormer generated wall? Making the dormer manually editable and dragging the interior wall out just erases more of the dormer wall.

I feel like I basically need an attic wall there, since the program won't let two normal walls on the same floor be on top of each other.

 

After watching a couple of your videos I've played around with breaking the dormer wall at the knee wall, toggling roof cuts wall at bottom, and dragging the wall handles around manually for both upper and lower walls. One thing seems to break another.. any other hints?

Just keep in mind once you did this nothing afterwards you tried would work because the auto wall resizing goes away once you have manually edited a wall.  Try re selecting the default top and bottom wall height in the structure tab first.  Then try anything you did after that point.

I'd suggest looking at how to do Dormers Manually , there seems to be way less issues doing your own......

 

this should get you started , try it in a new Plan , then try it in a saved as version of your House Plan.
