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).

Thank you!
Hmm, creating a wall with "attic" option marked dont work for me. Its actually not an attic, it is the roof's design to be like this. Its only a 1plan house. So I guess a "wall" may not be the correct way to solve this problem as it should be a connection between the two roofs but with the same look as the wall exterior. Is there any other way or do I miss something in the Wall options?

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?JoAnn

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?
