Well, I do not have time to lay it out but....
#1 - Do it as two roofs and join lower roof roof to the upper roof
#2 - Use a plate offset on the one line where the roof comes down and then join roof on what is essentially a dormer.
#3 - As they say in "What about Bob?" Baby steps, baby steps. I would break the roof up into smaller components and use the plate offset feature.

Upon further review (and without a plan view file that I can get my hands on) I would say you need to make it out of 4 roofs. Your lower dormer and porch as one. Your upper dormer as another. The main roof as possibly two seperate ones. Hope this helps!
