    protruding wall with shed in front of Gable roof

    I am trying to have a shed roof (actually copper hip) over a wall protruding from the main wall. the main wall is gabled but unless I make the fron wall of the protrusion a gable also it divides the above gable into two gables! I can provide a very simple example if someone can help.

    Raise the ceiling height in the main structure to 115" if the Box window area has a ceiling height 97-1/8".

    Make the wall that the red arrows in the picture are pointing to Gables
    Set the pitch on the one with the blue arrow to 3 in 12.

    Hills,

    Make the Gables on the house, then set the Ceiling height to at least 115" if the 1st floor ceiling height was 97-1/8" in the main house only. Not in the Box window area. Then set the 2 walls in the Box window area to Gable and the other wall to a 3/12 pitch.
