    Dormers windows obsured with walls

    I've been attempting to redo my roof planes so that my dormer windows will be at 32" AFF to meet egress building codes. I've attached the floorplan and a perspective to show the situation I am having. The windows show up on the exterior and meet my height requirement, but they don't show up on the interior wall elevations. What do I need to do to fix this?
    The front porch ceiling height: 10'
    Porch roof plane: Fascia Top: 121 1/2", Ridge Top: 165 3/8" at 4:12
    Dormer roof plane: Fascia Top: 166 3/8", Ridge Top: 374 1/4" at 9 7/16:12

    Thank you,

    These videos may help, generally:

    What I would probably do is to "explode" the dormers, one at a time and then manually raise the dormer roof planes by how much additional head room I needed and then reconnecte the mating edges, manually using the "Join Roofs" tool.
