Different wall types

I have a wall that above the roof line I would like it to show siding. And below the roof line it needs to be drywall. What would be the best way to do this?

Thank you

Brian

what i usually do in case a wall has to be different over and below a roof, i just copy/paste the same wall on the same place, (thus there are 2 walls instead of one) and trim to roof "top" of the first wall, and the "bottom" of the other.....then change settings of the 2 walls.....

not to have a gap between the walls --- while trimming make the roof as thin as possible...

SOEing second wall to bottom of first wall w/ up extrusion will eliminate gap.

Thank you for the help worked great

I need 1 wall to be 4" and the other to be 3 1/2" How do I not show the 4" wall in plan view?

Thanks again

Just put the 4" wall on a hidden layer, or create a new layer that is hidden in that view.
