Generally speaking, to create a wall, anywhere in the plan you use the wall tool on whatever floor you require a wall (in this case in the attic).

Is there any other way or do I miss something in the Wall options?
The sort of roof you show in your post above is easy to do if you have Home Designer Pro, a little less easy with other Home Designer titles but the point is that when you need a wall the wall tool is your first choice, only a wall can hold windows or vents (you could use a soffit but it will not accept windows or vents).Quote:

What Home Designer software do you own and use?

Everything is easy to do when you know how to do it! :)Quote:

You are in the wrong forum for Chief Architect Premier X6, but you can find help here if you give enough information.
You don't say if this wall is part of a vaulted ceiling room, or is it a loft?
Oh sorry for that!
Its neither a vaulted ceiling room or a loft. Its only roof. It should be something like this: http://demo.eksjohus.se/WebImages/2d...947f854135.jpg
Aha. I see a window up top. So does that mean it is a usable second floor room?
No, its an attic... Now, how do I solve my problem?
Here is a You Tube Video Tutorial I made based upon what I think you want to do:
