Walls don't build to reach roof line

When I change a hip wall into a gable wall, the wall isn't reaching all the way to the roof.  I suspect I did something when I was on the attic floor and deleted stuff I thought I didn't need.  Any idea what I need to do to get the wall to build correctly?

 

Secondary question:  "How can I specify a raised heel truss?"

No way to tell without the plan.

You don't. You raise the roof off the top plate so when you build the truss, it fills in.

Thanks.  That worked.

I started really messing with the roof, so if I end up with the walls not extending again, I'll send you the plan.   For now, I switched to manual roof just to play with it for awhile but raising the roof off the top plate was something I can certainly do, now that I know about it.

Thanks again.
