Dormer cut extend to Roof edge

I'd like to extend a dormer cut to the bottom edge of the roof (which overhangs either side of the dormer)

The left hand dormer is showing a dormer cut 

The right hand is showing a roof edge sketch cut around the dormer. But internally we don't have a conventional dormer square cut in the roof. 

Trying to combine the two, revit doesn't like. 

Any ideas?

I'm not clear on what you are asking, but if you can't there with the Dormer tool, what not just revise the Roof boundary to go around the Dormer Walls?

Yes that's what I've done in the right hand example. But a boundary edge
isn't squared edge like the dormer cut (ie cuts the roof horizontally
instead of vertically). See the difference between the two.##- Please type

Redo the Dormer and select the correct surface. 

 

...or post the file.

Great thanks! Hadn't realised I could select the roof as an Dormer cut edge.
