Add more custumization of tall walls.

Rakehead walls with a flat top section and the ability to add smaller windows over larger windows (I realize this would add point loads to the header below).

    Smaller windows over larger windows, unfortunately will not be a part of the near future.   The reason we are not pursuing this concept right now is that the lateral load transfer detailing to prevent a hinge in the wall at the interface of king stud to header below is complex and should be reviewed by an engineer given the potential ramifications if done improperly.

    As far as rakehead walls, the request for more than two slope input options is on our roadmap for future development.

    Thank you for your feedback.
