Do any of you out there know if there is a built in way to make a roof model with a boxed in type eave like the one I am showing in the attachment picture? Am I missing something or does this have to be "faked" in with in place families and cut? Thanks

Don't quite understand the question. Do you mean a horizontal soffit from the fascia board back to the wall ? That can be done with a roof > soffit but the end elevation will be capped off with either a custom family or an in-palce family. Out of the box REVIT does not have a tool to cap off the ends to form a pork chop. A sloping dog leg finish can be created with a small pieve of roof with 2 sloping edges.

Looks like you need to set the 'Rafter Cut' and 'Fascia Depth' properties of the roof.
