I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this. I have shed style roof with a slope of 1 1/2" / 12" The trusses are parallel chord about 30" deep. The roof shows correctly. I have a ceiling which I've got in the right position and slope. Fascia and soffit are correct. How do I add a wall or whatever to close the end space. I can draw a wall and slope the top to the roof but can't see any way to slope the bottom of the wall. Any suggestions for this.

The walls have an option for RAKE BOTTOM as well as Rake Top - or at least they did in 2020, I haven't got round to seriously using 2022 yet.

Keith, I did see that but didn't really understand it. After playing around a bit, I got it to work. Thanks so much. This forum is a lifesaver.

I’m interested in how you get the gable end siding to stop projecting past the beam to the edge of the roof?

 

why did you not use gable provided by truss to get the end covered?

I turned off the "fit to roof" for the long wall and drew a wall on top of the long wall and drew walls at the gable ends. Raked the end walls. Made all the walls "fit to roof". Worked just fine. Not sure about using the gable provided by the truss. I don't actually have a truss but rather a 1/2" thick roof with a 30" heel height. Also not sure if my terminology or understanding of the roof object is correct.
