Sloping Wall for Skylight

I have a skylight in the roof which has a casement (not sure of the correct name) which leads down to the ceiling.

I would like to know how to create a sloping wall perpendicular to the roof as in the image below:

I need to create the wall where the red lines are shown and connect side walls to it.  Note: I haven't created the cutout in the ceiling yet!!

 

Revit file is atttached.

 

Thanks

Use the Roof Tool to create this wall.

...or Mass the opening and use the Wall by Face tool to create Walls.

If it's just this wall you could also model it in-place under wall category, multi-layered/parametric if you like...

@barthbradleyI've managed to get the walls as you suggested using the mass and the wall by face tool but I'm left with the following where the walls don't meet the roof:

Now, normally I'd use the attach top/base tool but this does not appear as an option for me; I suppose it is due to the way it was created.

Are there any tools which would fix this issue?

 

Thanks

I would edit the Mass and make it taller (start it from top surface of Roof), Update to Face the Walls, and then In-Place Model a Void Extrusion to cut all the Walls flush to the bottom surface of the Roof.

@ToanDNI tried your suggestion to Join geometry but nothing happened - the walls remained in the same place so was left with trying barthbradley's suggestion...

 

@barthbradleyI was really struggling with editing the mass as it didn't want to play nicely but eventually got there after starting again.  Once I put the walls on it, it came out like this:

with errors saying it couldn't keep the walls joined. What would you normally do here?

 

Thanks
