Hide roof cut material with wall material?

[Anonymous]

I want my wall material to go all the way to the top, as it's also the roof material. I would like it to look like the corten steel is a continuous wrap all around the building.

But I can only get it up to the base of the roof line, which means I have a strip of the roof cut all around the top. Is there a way of fixing? I can only think of drawing curtain walls all the way around, but this isn't ideal as I'll have to cut out the windows etc, so just wondering if there's a faster alternative?

Thank you

You can also use a Ref. Plane as the Target for Attach Top/Base.  

...you can also unlock the exterior wall layer(s) and manually drag it or enter an Top Extension Distance in the Wall's Properties.

Thank you. I looked into this but looks as though the reference line can only been drawn in elevation view? Don't think that's possible for me as the roof isn't one straight line, it's an odd shaped building and the roof is different heights etc. Or is there an easier way? Thanks again

Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to do.  Post your file.

My file is too large to upload unfortunately. I've quickly edited the second photo to show what I mean - the bits in the red circles, the walls go right to the top. I want this all around the building, but the whole roof is sloped from the left to the right, getting gradually higher. So when I detach the walls, they lose the "sloped" edge and the top of the wall goes completely horizontal.
