Lowering Roofs and Taller Chimneys

As I have more time with the lockdown in UK, trying my building skills, but not much skill. Tried to build a garage with a half tall wall but I have no idea how to meet the roof to the top edge of wall, there is a big gap? The chimney's are a problem as well, there not tall enough and only go half way up the wall, how do you make them taller? Advice please. And I have to say this, STAY SAFE!

Or have the garage with normal walls, but make the house taller by making the house 2 floors, normal and half wall. have a 2 floor box with roof on it next to it. Delete the first floor and lower it and stretch the roof, until it touches the half wall. Like in the video I mentioned. But that's more advanced than just playing with the foundation.

There's many ways to pet a cat :wink:

@Xinqun Thank you! I have a test build I'm trying to see if I can find alternative ways to make the same effect aka re-inventing the wheel. I came here to help, but I find I'm learning lots too!

@PitlordMaggie Ah, I guess that video explains that second idea I had, and I kind of jumped the gun there. My bad! But yeah, you can get all sorts of cool things with that half wall + extended eaves trick.

Um. @Takissis ... you don't need MoveObjects to use the "" grow/shrink function. I'm not sure it's actually considered a cheat.

Thanks. Thought it was.
