Help for a beginner!  I'm using HD Pro 2019 and want to lower half of a shed roof without changing the lower half which is continuous with the rest of the house.  The main roof pitch is 6/12 but I would like to lower the height of the high shed roof wall buy bringing the pitch down to 4/12. Nothing I've tried works. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks!

Video shows Pro 2024 -- the oldest I have installed, and while the basics are the same, there may be some fixes in new versions that make things work that did not work previously.

 

This is also really simple to do with the manual roof tools. Remove the upper pitch setting in the front wall and build the roof. Drag the back roof plane out of the way. Draw a new roof plane starting at the ridge going towards the rear. Open it, lock Fascia Top Height, and adjust the pitch. Cleanup as needed.
