Sorry, it has been a while since I have used Revit. How do I do this roof all in one. 12/12 slope for main house and 6/12 for porch. Thanks

Roof by extrusion is the easy solution if you want one roof.
If it's a house with a front porch then do two roofs. The main roof would follow the footprint of the house with two sides that define slope. The second porch roof would have only one side that defines slope. You may have to play with the boundaries to get it too meet exactly.

If the the lower sloped roof is going to be cal framed, then Jarosa's second suggestion would result in a section that looks right also. When in doubt, build it (in Revit) like you will build it (for real).
