You should create a new wall type w/ sidings on both sides.  On the end i'd use a rectangular solid or something to simulate trim board or LP trim....or copy your stucco finish if you'd like.

I would maybe suggest, edit that wall, and put the height at say 5', then in edit do "fit to roof".  if this does it, then turn off cleanup for this wall.

 

If it still goes up to the upper roof, go to roof mode, and "move " that upper roof to the side. then repeat the first part and it will probably fit to 

 

to the lower roof OK. Then turn cleanup off for that wall. 

go move the upper roof back in place.

Here is a response to a end wall issue...you could modify the symbol to any finish...

Check out the link."..Got it....found this Sketchup model, installed in SP and then applied....bingo a very nice looking corner....and when in 3d mode, move the symbol to the correct position...

If you want to fix that end of the wall that is hollow, you can    go to Options- extraction options and turn the wall framing on,

then go to edit the wall and make it a different wall type from any used in the project, and edit the new wall definition to be stucco in and out.

 

then in 3D select "surface copy/paste" and make the 2x4 a stucco surface and any other little pieces of sheathing etc. you might see.

 

 

Maybe

 

Seems i saw something in 2020 or maybe was 2022 that you can select to close the end of the wall. might have been a wish?
