Hi. I have been trying to add a porch with a roof to my house plan. The roofs on the house and garage are gable roofs with different pitches to make room for an egress window. The upstairs is going to have trusses that will allow the addition of two bedrooms and a bath. There will be no dormers. The problem that I'm having is trying to get a roof on the porch without extending the trusses over the porch. I could figure how to do that, but it isn't what I'm wanting. I like the way the porch is in the link that I've included, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to duplicate it. As you can see by the file I've attached I managed a roof over the porch that is floating and not attached to anything which shows I've gone from bad to worse. I'm using Chief Architect Software Professional Home Designer 2016. Once I get the porch roof figured out I will be able to work on raising the terrain around the garage in order to keep the basement raised for a daylight basement, but that's another issue. Thank you in advance for any advice.
