Attic wall issues . .

[Tundara Homes]

I have a plan with multiple ceiling heights running along an exterior wall. I am not sure if I am modelling this correctly, but I can't seem to clean up my attic walls. I have been told that if you break walls here and break walls there, it should work. My usual work around is to add a siding layer with polylines but I would like to learn otherwise. Please teach me what I am doing wrong . . .

Thanks for your time.

Could be fun, I will look into it in the AM.

Scott,

I am very appreciative of the time you take to try and understand the style and the method of design of others like myself. I realize that we do things differently. I value the criticism both constructive and otherwise. For you to drop in and make sense of each project is commendable. Thanks for the suggestions. The one that did it for me was the wall definitions roof designation. I never noticed the lower wall cut by roof dialogue before. That was the answer and I am sure it will save me time on many projects as this situation often occurs.

As far as the roof goes, they are trusses with an 12" energy heel.

The offending attic wall by the entry was created because the entry has a common ceiling height with the main house (at 109.125") The laundry room and rear entry has a lower ceiling height but the roof for the garage cuts through both rooms. Break the wall where needed and designate the siding wall as interior 6 below and all is gravy. . . thanks again.
