Roof planes extending into the attic when room ceiling heights differ

My roof planes are extending into the attic on a simple house design and I'm not sure why. Some parts of the house have 10' ceilings and some have 9' which is making weird roof lines. It generates correctly if I make the rooms all the same ceiling height but I don't want that, especially on the front entry. I manually created the porch roof but it isn't lining up right.

 

I'm attaching photos from the latest software version. 

 

I am new to the program and am having issues with roofs and attic walls constantly. What do I need to do to fix this and have the higher exterior wall height roof terminate correctly?

Highly recommend learning to use the automatic roof tools.  This is an extremely easy roof to do with automatic roofs.  Let Chief do the heavy lifting.

After taking a break from the software I came back and figured out some of the roof tools. I came up with the following:

Does this look like it is lining up correctly inside the attic?

I added the roof framing and and it builds but still has pieces of the fascia material intertwined in the framing. Is this normal with the software or is there something I'm missing?
