Michael,
Just FYI, you're in the wrong forum. There is an ACA forum here http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=379

If you post there, you will get quicker responses. Especially with wall, since vanilla CAD doesn't have them.

Now on to your question. Select the wall or walls, then:
right click > roof / floor line > modify roof line.

Once there, there are sevaral options. Some work for some situations. The first on to choose is Auto Project. Just pick the roof and the walls should trim to it. If you have a complicated roof, you may have to do each wall separately.

There is also a nifty command called Project to Polyline. You can go to a side view and draw a pline for the trim plane, then choose that command and project your wall to that pline.

Hope that helps.
