Thanks for input brown tiger,. I did resolve the roof issue before I saw your help (it is attached). Great room ceiling issue, cannot get to close up. It might create some issues during framing plans.This is a major remodel, raising halls ceilings from 8ft to 10 ft.  Seet attache clg view , I cannot solve it see attached. 

The beam at front porch is there a way to semi-arch the beam like builder sketch I attached previously.

Newell, have you tried a ceiling plane barrel vault (arched).  I did some similar on a 2015 lake house project. I haven't had opportunity to open that plan file and try to remember how I did it. I think I did no ceiling in the porch vault, then used the ceiling plane tool to make the radius vault.  So much to do today, I may not have the time to open it up but if I do I'll see if I can post something?

I took a minute to pull up the old Lake House plan I did. I was correct, in that I did the porch room with no ceiling, then added the ceiling plane, made it curved, played with the heights etc. until I got it to work.  Something didn't work just exactly right, but I couldn't remember what I did to fix it. I think it had to do with the config of the porch room, but I do remember I use the break tool to break the plane and drag it back into the areas needed. See if this is what you're attempting, and if it helps? I would post the plan this came off of, but this was back in 2015, and that file is missing somewhere in my files and I was unable to drag it out.  I had the (messed up plan file) saved in drop box but is a mess, and I never spent the time back then to straighten all the issues out.  Glenn Woodward helped me work out the roof on the corrected plan I did for construction and that's the one I had saved on an external hard drive packed away somewhere?!?!?
