Dormer Question - Pesky Side Walls

Dormer Question…

 

I have been messing around with both the dormer tools in CA, along with manually creating dormers.

 

I can kinda create the dormers the way I want them to look with all three options, though each option is a bit different for various reasons (Like I can’t get the auto dormer to start near the peak).

What I can’t seem to figure out is how to get rid, hide, remove, etc. the wall that is on the sides of the dormers in the plan view.    I know it needs to be there when build (either as a wall or floating over rafters), but it looks odd in plan view.

 

With the Floating Dormer those side walls show but allows for the room to be considered as a single large room.

With the Auto Dormer it is creating three separate rooms.

 

Question:

1)      How do I show this as more of a single room in plan view without the walls making it appear as if it is broken up (floating dormer)

2)      How do I Make a single large room when using the Auto Dormer method?

3)      Why can’t I get to the peak on the Auto Floating Former methos?

4)      Why the heck are my files so huge when trying to load here...

 

Thanks

You can select the walls that build over the roof and designate them as (no locate), then turn off the layer for walls, no locate

Thanks guys.  Much appreciated.  I was pondering if I could get the dormers how I want them, explode them, then hide the walls, but was hesitent.

 

Thanks again.  Much appreciated.
