    What is wrong when I change my roof to a double roof and extend it over my porch, it

    changes  my other roofs and also moves the peak around.

    Not sure I understand your issue.  I hope I’m not stating the obvious, and if you move the roof edge and adjust the support height it would leave the ridge right where it is, but the roof will be low at the edge of the deck.  If you move the roof edge and maintain the support height, then the ridge will move forward to keep the same pitch on the front and back.

    Yes, a 2D Plan view would help!

    Yes I saw that it drops the porch roof  way down. And this is the same thing I posted on roof problem I must have hit submit twice which is why it put it in twice. On the roof problem post is where I put the 2d views pics in or did you mean the whole 2d print?

    Hello,

    Please try using these steps to create your double roof, with porch roof.

      1. Select roof>right click>break>click on the spot between porch roof and roof to the right.
      2. Select roof>make arrow over porch roof green>right click>properties>roof type:double
      3. Surface 1 will be the porch roof-enter the correct slope and horizontal distance>enter slope for surface 2>ok
      4. Drag the roof edge to sit over the porch roof supports to align the ridge peak back on center
