Anyone good enough with roofs to tell me what I'm doing wrong?

This is for my own home, I'm not an architect but have been using Chief for personal uses since Chief 8! I just suck with complicated roofs.  It looks simple, just a long gable on one side.  It's all just for exterior renderings so the inside doesn't really matter much. I'm not sure how I can upload a file if anyone can help but I've tried for hours and just can't seem to make it match. If you look at the real picture, it's as simple as it looks in the photo, just a full gable where one side goes all the way down to the first floor on the right.  Same roof style on the back as well, 4 / 12 pitch.

Thanks if anyone can help.

I think I figured out a way to share without uploading here, I uploaded them to Google Drive

The main layout file is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oReuC470Wmq75DqFNvFbkiIVEuw7Zns7/view?usp=drive_link

But here's a file where all the other buildings have been deleted to make it just the basic house, then I would just copy and paste it into my bigger file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Porkmezp-UVJeX13lDC8wcKgHnnA2uGU/view?usp=drive_link

 

Main folder location: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1u52qGsEYlzEV0X_OZ4m8at5-rCHACKuU?usp=sharing

 

Thank you and anyone that can help, I'm stuck    =/

Could this be close? 

 

I took the roof section on the right side of the ridge and extended it downward. I also deleted all of the other roof sections that got in the way.

 

I am also having trouble posting the plan back to you.

 

Good luck!

See if that is heading in the right direction, its working with auto roofs also do your signature I do not know what version you are using i figured it to be version12

Plus i deleted a lot of stuff to get the file small enough i think the terrain was the main file size problem

@SteveNovatoI greatly appreciate it! It looks like Mark was able to get it sorted right after you posted this

 

@Mark3D oh man! That’s awesome! Thank you so much

 

I greatly appreciate you both helping me with this. That’s very selfless to take the time to do so. I tried for hours but gave up. I’m so excited to keep going now that you helped me get it!
