How do I create a wall that comes to a peak?

How do I create a wall that comes to a peak instead of the default wall which runs straight across parallel to its base? See image: http://www.stevesmallwood.com/pictures/PeakedWall.jpg

You can either use Trim to Roof or Solid Element Operations.

Either one would require you to draw a roof to use as a trimming plane.

Thank you, Tom.

I'm an illustrator with no architectural background. I'm a bit surprised that it's not possible to create a mid point in a typical wall (or use an existing midpoint) and drag it upward. I have to do a similar procedure in Vectorworks Architect in conjunction with a roof element.

I'm wondering if this feature is something that could be added to a future version. It is definitely easier (and more direct) and doesn't require the assistance of another element such as a roof.
