Kind of depends on how you built the porch.

 

If your porch walls are not connected, or any of them are marked as "no room def", then you won't have a room defined.  If you don't have a room, you won't get a roof automatically.

 

If you do have a room, but it is not setup to have a roof over it, you also won't get a roof automatically.

 

There might be a bunch of other reasons as well but they would be less common.  

 

This is why people will always suggest that you post a copy of the plan.  It is pretty easy for someone to take a look at what you have done and then tell you why you are not getting a roof.  Everything else is just a guessing game. 

 

If you are having problems attaching a plan, the first thing to try is making a zip (or compressed archive) file which usually makes it much smaller.  If it is still too big, then start deleting things from it that aren't relevant to your questions (like fixtures and furniture).  If it is still too big, then you probably need to post it on an online location (like dropbox) so that people can download it.
