I had a play with your file i made some changes
I put a roof hole in the large roof plain front and rear gables
facia heights on large roof plains i made sub facia 15" and eave facia 16" also turned on boxed eaves
I put a molding for deck facia
I made stair floor open below
See if that is what you can use, I think the roof pitch should be stepper like 12 in 12 from looking at your photos
-
From looking at your plan and photos it seems like you are on the right track, was there something in particular that you would like to improve on

Most of the objects tool bar items if they have a default setting just double click the tool that will open its defaults

Could you put your chief version in your signature so we don't have to try and figure out what version you are using, and you must not have your file not open in chief when zipping as it zips a corrupted file with no data
-
Your roof has a heel height of 12" i think that is making that small wall above the beam
-
With the wall not going to the ceiling, open wall structure tab select default top height
As for sharing the file google drive works for me you just need to set sharing to anyone with link
-
My method use the material eye dropper on the material that has the wrong angle then select copy selected material on the lower tool bar then go to texture tab and change texture angle and you should be done. You might need to do the same on stringers at a different angle
this will work in x13 and above
please do your signature as it is often dependant on your chief version

Watch a training video on manual roofs then you will not be at the mercy of missing information

On the small gable roof plains you have the base lines on the inside edge of the main layer to me they should be on the outside edge of the walls main layer i the reconnected the roof edges and the stray siding went away

You have uploaded a file that is open so it has no data , save the file close chief and upload again.

See if that is any better i got rid of gable line as it was stopping roof on soak tub room and used Make roof base polyline and tweek it at the problem wall intersection, so now auto roofs will only build to roof base polylines so if you change your model you will need to change roof base polylines
