How to adjust top extension distance for Wall that is aligned with Roof/Ref Pl?

[Ksenia.Eic]

I am trying to insert wall reveals into the walls in my Revit Project to play with cladding reveal patterns and I am running into some issues with the side faces of roof assemblies stopping the continuity of my cladding face.

I went into the wall assembly (edit type - modify vertical structure - modify) and unlocked the cladding material so that it could extend to the top of elevation (top of roof line). My problem is, since I have a sloped roof, I have attached the top of many of my walls to an angled reference plane... and when I try to adjust the "top extension distance" in the properties, nothing happens...

How do you adjust the top extension distance of the cladding in a wall assembly for a wall that is aligned with a sloped roof/reference plane? There are also a couple of walls that aren't attached at the top or bottom to anything and yet I still have this same issue.

Hi Ksenia,

Try selecting the part in the wall and turning on the shape handle - you can then pull this up to where you need it to be

Thanks so much! For anyone who may have the same problem as me and in case you don't know, to show an assemblies "parts", click on the assembly and then in the "modify" tab under "create" click on "create parts". Then click on the part (the cladding for instance) and in properties check the box that says "show shape handles" (as MJustinTaylor showed).
