Let's start with you reading the pinned thread at the top of this section, "How to get good answers when you ask questions."

 

And then you continue by completing a signature in your profile, kind of like what you see in mine.  What Chief software and version you are using, and what you run it on.

 

And then, no, we're not done, you attach an image, a screencap is best, of what you have on your screen that shows us the issue, and you attach a plan file (you gotta close it to be able to attach it) to your post.

 

Finally, if you are using Home Designer, and not Chief Premier, you're in the wrong room.  HD has its own forum.

Hi John,

Welcome to the forum. It would be helpful if you can let us know what version of chief your are using?

Also some pictures are helpful! 

 

I have a home that matches your description and use case. I ended up putting a single pitch over the screen porch. The hip concept wouldn't work with out a flat area on the top.

Any footprint can be roofed hip-style
