Roof lines & loft

[Donna Wesemann]

I have no clue how to get the vaulted ceiling and the loft over the center section of the first floor without the full second floor walls. It is only 2 stories high in the center, the roof meets the first floor (which is a 9ft ceiling) at the 1 story side wings of the log home. It should appear almost as an A frame or chalet in the front of the house. I am very knew at this, hope I am making myself clear....
