"Closing" a Gable Roof? Decorative beams?

Designing a roof over an outdoor kitchen, I've created beams out of soffits and technically the drawing can be left this way but we're perfectionists and we'd like to have a wall or something to close this thing off. I tried using a wall, but of course that just enclosed the whole structure.

As an alternate option, I'd also like to know how I can draw a decorative thing such as the example I've attached.

Use an attic wall, this article says it applies to Chief but the same basic steps work in Pro.

There are a bunch of prior threads on decorative trusses if you do a search on the forum.
