Problems with Wall trimming

I am having problems trimming a wall to a roof. The wall is a complex profile, shows up fine on the floor plan, but when I trim it to the roof, in 3D it disappears. The windows are still there, but the wall is gone. Shows up fine in plan view, but not 3D.

I had noticed a while ago that if an ordinary wall is drawn between
the ends of a "U" shaped polywall then the ordinary wall disappears in 3D.
If the ordinary wall is dragged away slightly from the polywall it appears again.
Interesting observation, but since I've never used Polywalls, this was not the cause in my case.

The problem was not with the wall, the problem was with the roof. Somehow the roof developed a glitch, so I deleted the old roof, put a new one one, and the problem resolved itself. Thanks for all your help.

mukster,
If you undo the trim to roof does the wall reappear ?
Your initial post seemed to indicate that the problem
appeared when you trimmed the wall with a roof.
