What is the best way to handle a roof on an addition?

I have a small house that wants an addition made to the rear forming a T shape. The old structure will retain as much of the roof as possible when the addition is added.

The old roof is a 4 pitch and is stick made. The new roof is
is 6 pitch with trusses. I need to draw the old structure in order to get the addition plans so I must build the roof planes and the framing on both new and old.

For the permit I need to show the new trusses and how they tie into the old roof rafters.

What steps would you recommend I take to make this roof plan turn out correctly.


Appreciate your thoughts,
