Hi fellow Reviters!I would like to find out how you guys would connect a wall to a roof, so that the wall connects close to the TOP of the roof.Right now the wall attaches to the bottom, you never build like that, do you?Hope you understand what I try to achieve. I've added  two pictures showing the project.The red area in pic #2 shows how I would like the wall to almost reach the top of the roof instead of the bottom.(Not the whole wall, part of it).Thanks in advance/M.

If that is what you want create 2 different roofs, 1 for the structure and 1 for what you want your wall to go up to

Yeah, I want the wall to follow the roof, not attach to the bottom. So that the outer layer is connecting to the top instead of the bottom. Should I make separate walls and use a void, or what's the easiest way?(I also want the wall to follow the slopes of the roofs)  Hope the included picture shows what I mean (section).

try using "edit profile" of walls in elevation view, that way you can follow roof line.

Yep, do not attach wall to the roof, edit wall profile instead – see picture.
