I am designing a rambler using Revit 2014.  I am having two issues with my roof.  I have a front and back covered patio, and that is where I am running into issues.

First for the back patio: I am using a hip roof over the back patio, and the roof looks good, the problem that I am having is that when revit draws the patio cover, it bumps the roof up 6" higher than the roof around the rest of the house. 

Second, on the front patio, I want to have a gable roof that overhangs the front of the house about 5'.  When I draw the roof, instead of having the gable stop at the garage, (see attachment) it tries to draw the gable going half way through the garage.

I have attached pictures to show what I am talking about. Can someone please help me with this?  Thanks.

I'm not seeing a problem with your back patio.  Your problem with your front is that your columns are at a different elevation than the rest of the house so you are going to get a weird look to it and on top of that you are trying to make your gable from the left side of your porch to the opposite side of your garage.  I would create the front porch as a separate roof.

Be careful with how you sketch roofs like this.  I think you are combining pointed at walls (with overhang) with sketch lines.  Sketch the entire roof with the sketch lines at your overhang.

with your front verandah your eave overhang is different .

one way to get around this is use the same walls as temporary walls to verandah, draw roof then delete the walls in verandah.

then eave will line up, assuming overhang width and whether rafter or truss is ticked are the same.

the second problem looks like the roof around the step in the garage is influencing your gable at the rear verandah.

i would do garage as separate roof then alter sketch line footprint where they intersect etc. then join roofs
