Hip roof, how would you layout trusses; 8' flat, except middle section want slope ceiling scissor trusses (hip girders, front jacks, side jacks, etc.)

struggling with jog location by front door, any help appreciated

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.

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?

Yes, I meant 8' ceiling typical, and vaulted ceiling in middle of house, see my latest screenshot

The purpose I am just trying to figure out the truss layout, so I know where to put stud packs etc.

I would just make it 6 or 8 ft and call it a day. The truss manufacturer will get up with you if they can't make it work and you can make changes then (at least that is how it works where I practice).
