Dormer and Tall Roof Issue

[Tryingtobezen]

Hey! I am having another issue......with a roof go figure haha. I can not figure out how to add walls around my manual dormers without it reading as though the wall is downstairs. The taller part of the roof should also have a wall coming down. Any help or advice would be amazing! Please ignore any imperfections as I have been working on this and have not yet checked to see if there is any interior issue due to the changes made. Thank you in advance!

This is doable but tricky. First off the top of the exterior wall in the front that should extend up into the dormers has a set ht for some reason and not responding to the normal top of wall directives which is to seek the height of the ceiling or roof. Once you get that corrected, the next thing you will want to do is adjust the roof opening at the dormers out to the outside face of the dormer/ext wall so that it extends up to the dormer gable. Then draw your side dormer walls, aka cheek walls. In the wall dbx (dialog box) setting you will set them as follows , on the structure panel "Balloon through ceiling" and on roof panel, roof cuts wall at bottom. The roof opening may adjust on its own to cut the wall as intended. I have found that sometimes I have finagle it. Getting the front corners to cleanup might be challenging to BUT can be accomplished with the wall layer cleanup tool.

Hopefully this will get you going in the right direction.
