Need help modeling complex roof with walls

Hello,

I'm working on modeling a tiny house that was drawn in Sketchup. The model on the right is my current Revit model trying to emulate the Sketchup model on the left. On the Revit model, the triangle wall that connects the different  sloped direction roofs is not filleting at the angle desired as shown on the Sketchup model; also I'm trying to get the wall profile that attaches to the roof to join with the triangle wall, but as shown it cuts through the triangle wall and I'm unable to join them together.
Please let me know if there's a different approach to work this out or how to get it done effectively.

Thanks.

Attach Wall via Attach Top/Base twice; one for the roof above (Top) and one for the roof below (Base).

Do they intersect? If doesn't look like it.  Also, it doesn't look like they are the same material, so they may be joined but the coincident linework at the union is still going to be visible.  It disappears if they share the same material. But bottom line: just model it the way it will be constructed in the field. Likely, that wall will rest on the bottom roof and support the upper roof.   An over-framing condition of sorts.

I managed to model the angled part better by adjusting the lower roof outline to go under the upper where the triangle wall is then attaching the wall to both roofs. Thanks for the help @barthbradley

@barthbradley, perhaps you can help with another issue: The wall used for this structure has a charred wood image for its appearance. When I edited the wall to be that way, it only shows on that wall only but not even completely at the top, nor on the other walls that are the same wall.
