Can't connect wall and dormer wall to make open to below

[Jakeiscrazy]

Hey all, as the title implies I have created these two dormers and connected them with interior walls but from reason I can't select just the dormer area because the walls don't fully connect. What am I doing wrong? TIA!

ETA I am using Architectural 

 

 

 

 

 

When I attempt to drag it over I get this:

Ha if only I could, when I attempt to connect them (by dragging them together) I get the error above (Cannot build walls because existing walls are in the way. 

I am in Home Designer Architectural, I'll add it to my sig.

So I got one of the dormers to work by running the wall on the inside. 

 

The other still doesn't work. Here is a little video that will maybe throw a little light on the problem.

Maybe this is what you are trying to do?

That's a great suggestion but unfortunately did not work. It creates a weird space that doesn't need to be there and isn't present in the front. 

Here is the back.

 

And the front

So, do the same thing that you did up front.

The reason it didn't work for you in your video, is because you have to keep a small gap between the dormer wall, and the interior wall.

That did the trick! Thank you Jo Ann! You are awesome!
