I am not sure what this roof component is called

[KevinJohnson]

I want to extend the roof about a foot in front of the brick in this picture. I am not sure what that is called in the software so that I can look it up. Does anyone know? Thanks

It doesn't really have a name other than a return. Just go to the roof, use the "break line" tool where the roof and brick intersect, then drag the section of the roof over the distance you want it to be. Works the same when you want to have the roof extend to cover corner boards, etc.

It is called a "roof return", a common architectural decoration

Thank you Keith and David. I did not know about that tool.
