Three Unique Roofing Problems

[krimco1]

A few roofing issues I can't figure out...

 

1. How do I fix the gable of the second floor that overhangs so it's an extension of the main roof (See photo of actual house)?

2. How do I lower the roof of the porch without lowering the floor of that second floor overhang?

3. How do I fix the wonky gable roof extensions over the porch and garage?

 

My plan is bigger than 14 MB so here's everything at a dropbox link - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/nm8nax6j2imyt8blhu6d6/h?rlkey=bs2kq39g8krskd4cttoiott0e&dl=0

This example was done using only the tools that Suite has.

@Jo_AnnWould love the details on how if you don't mind. Thank you!

Thanks @DavidJPotter! Was hoping to avoid turning off auto build roofs but will do this if all else fails. And sorry I didn't include all the details. But the porch is a planned addition. Does not currently exist. Also my first floor and porch are not at ground level. They are 16in off the ground. I'm mid-design on the porch so ignore the elevated slab. It's actually a deck.

This is a re-creation based on the floor plan you posted a long time ago.

So, dimensions are not accurate, and ceiling heights are guesses.

Auto Rebuild Roof is still turned on in the this plan.

 

You should be posting in the Q&A category.

If you still have the Suite file, it would be helpful  if you uploaded the plan file in Q&A.

It looks like a tricky setup! Sharing the Dropbox link is helpful, maybe a roofing contractor or architect could give specific guidance on adjusting the gables and porch roof without affecting the second floor.
