Is it possible to attach a gutter to a wall instead of a roof?  I have a project with 24" thick concrete walls, and a 36" thick concrete roof.  The walls will be in place first, and the roof will span between the walls, sloping in one direction to the outside wall. If I just select the roof gutter in the Architectural tab, it will not allow me to attach it to the wall.

Thanks,

Use a wall sweep with a gutter profile.  Otherwise you will need to use an in-place sweep.

You can set an offset for the gutter that should compensate for the wall.   Just turn off the wall so you can pick the roof.

Thanks, I used the offset method.  It was quick and easy.  I'll keep the sweep option in mind for future use.
