Don't really understand your issue. Also, does not look like you have enough pitch for a vaulted hip to work.
Can you provide a reflected ceiling plan?
 
It would be useful to see a plan diagram of your desired ceiling planes.
 
Different manufacturers in different places will want to do different things but this would be a pretty conventional arrangement.

I summon @RontheRedneck to particpate.

wouldn't the normal roof framing be to frame the main rectangle, sheath it, then add the section over the porch?
 
I am with Xr250, not sure what you are asking for. I assume 8' flat is the underside ceiling and the scissor is underside ceiling. Am I right? The reflected ceiling plan is needed. How far is each one, and where are they at?
