Gambrel Roof With Dormers

For the life of me I cannot complete this task. I tried creating a Cape and then changing the roof but no luck. I tried creating knee walls and still no luck.  Trying to create a Gambrel Roof where it rests on the first floor walls so I can place dormers. I have looked through the videos and I know its something simple.  Photo shows what I need to create. Plan shows what I got.  I have created this in the past however with AutoCAD and believe me if you don't use it you lose it.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Jim I thought so as well but its not.  The interior does have an attic above this second floor.  Space to the left and right of each dormer ia approx. 13" inches.  The interior walls go all the way to that roof line of which the floor is even with the edge of the gutters on the roof.

 

I have tried the online videos and have not seen one that would work thus far.

Well I look at all the above which were interesting to say the least, however none of which produced what I was looking for.  Now with countless changes I finally got what I was looking for.  The interior wall is not quite the same but the exterior is exactly what I needed.

 

Thanks everyone it was a journey but now have it down to a science.
