Newel, draw your new roofs manually in a "proposed plan". Have the existing plan be an "existing plan".

Newel, I'll try looking at your plan this afternoon and see if I can help. I would do the new roof manually so as to not touch your existing roofs. I however have no idea what type of roofs you want.

I'm not sure if this is what you trying to do. What I did is go Build Roof- Check Make roof baseline PolyLines, Change to Roof Layer set and adjust existing Roof PolyLines as you want them to go. After you done, select Build Roof and it will rebuild according to your roof PLines

 

Here is the plan.

      Attic wall changes with build roof command
      By rectordesign7
      Hi, I have done some manual changes to the roof. And I want to add a porch roof to the entry. When I choose to build roof and retain my manual changes, it then changes my attic wall over the garage by lowering the top of wall and changing its formation. I have attached before and after pics (PNG & PDF) and the CA file in X12. Please let me know if you have any question that may help you help me.
       
      Thank you

      Roof Returns
      By amydutton
      How do I put a roof return on this roof? Can't find a video about it anywhere on the Chief Website... is there another name for it?
       
      See attachment, and where I drew in black.

      Boxed eaves
      By cjanderson66
      I know this discussion has been discussed before but I am having an issue with the roofs overhangs.  I have not had this issue before as most of the time the Boxed overhangs have worked but not this time.  I have tried everything in the book to make my overhangs boxed and nothing is working.  Any idea why my overhangs will show a boxed overhang?

      Joining two roofs at ridge
      By Randino
      I want to add a porch and roof and meet an existing root at specific location. How to I specify the specific location?
      See attach. I've fixed the location of the dormer. The porch roof (shed type) needs to end here and on top of the porch beam.  The pitch is what ever it needs to be. I tried to specify two pitches on the porch wall, but I don't distance from the porch wall to the a point just in front of the dormer.
      I tried to move the baseline up on the main roof thinking Chief would tell me the height and then I could change the ridge height of the porch roof to match. I couldn't get it to work.
