    Great job on the roof.
    For the wall,I changed it to a pony wall=brick top,interior bottom.
    In cross section/elevation view,used break line to drag the brick up-to meet the rafters..Not totaly sure if this is the right way(seems to work)I don't use brick walls very much..
    Cross section slider is a great tool to see this..

    Yep - I've got windows to do, and lots of details (this is an existing house we'll be doing major additions to) -- but I'm warming up to Chiefy (insert theme from Jaws here...)

    Thanks for the brick wall suggestion -- I can't believe how fast you people fix what I think is very challenging. Will I someday be a question ANSWERER too???

    Have a great weekend, all.

    (see note that came with the last image I posted.) I was thinking ahead to how I could fix the wall that the gable abuts into, so that it would have brick where it's an exterior wall, but where it's an interior wall (below the gable inside) it would not have brick. I haven't tried his pony-wall & line break method yet, but I'll work on it and see if I can do it.
