hi - I am trying to make a photorealistic exterior for a builder to shre with the client.  I can find no symbol library that shows this full eyebrow porch detail and have no clue how to draw it.  the face of the porch is supposed to look similar to the top part of this building, but with cedar shakes.

I am also trying to put trimwork and claddingon the exterior that includes 5" vinyl (clapboard looking) with corner trim work that is basically1x6 on either side of each corner and 1x4 across the bottom --- typical 19h century venacular/bungalow type..I am just getting started with Revit so need some pointers --- if this type of family is already build somewhere so I could insert it/modify it for pitch/length depth (parametric, I guess) that would be awesome, but I have yet to find it.

I've attached some 'inspiration' illustrations and the drawing set that is in progress fyr -

thanks for any help --

I guess it could actually be called a more 'Federal' style for the porch but mixed with the shakes and other elements it's an amalgam of 19th century styles
