Hi, this seems to be a big issue with Rev 09 but i have tried to recreate the attached image for days now, and still no joy. I have a dropped eaves arrangment, and i got so far with a dormer opening and it even cut into the main roof correctly, but the issue seems to be where the dormer openeing needs to sit on walls inside the room, But there are no walls, please can anyone solve my problem

 

greatly appreciated, as always

As you can see from these attached photo's i can edit the internal wall profile to fill in the exposed gaps of the dormer cheeks whilst keeping the internal walls where they should be. But on my 1st image i cant seem to create the window sitting on the external brickwork with a pediment on top cutting into the main roof, please help

Hi Wilson, do you attach the wall bottom to the roof?

If i undestand what you want, you can detach these wall to the roof and attach again the base to the slab, then your walls go to the slab, if that's what you want... but if the interior wall are different than the exterior, well you also can create that interior walls based in that level and then attach the Top to roof...

im not quite sure what your problem is but it sounds like you might want to attach the bottoms  of the exterior dormer walls to the roof so they dont go inside?
