Adding a Porch with a Shed Roof
I've got my house design, and roof, pretty much how I want it, except I'm having trouble adding a porch with roof. The porch roof is to start just behind the left hand gable, and have a 5:12 shed roof going up to the 8:12 roof behind it on the main porch. (picture attached, expected outline of porch is in red)
I've tried adding the front of the porch as an invisible wall, and specifying the slope, but it completely screws up the rest of the roof (picture attached).
I have to say, that roof design using this program (Home Designer Architectural) is a real pain.
Anyhow, any idea on how to get this roof in there? The only thing I've gotten that works half decent is to forget the roof, and put in a sloped soffit and paint it like a roof!

I wrote a long, detailed response, but don't seem to have actually posted it.
Bottom line, is thanks a bunch for taking the time to do this. Perseverance pays off, and I eventually got the results I wanted. Thanks again.
