To your 1rst question, there is a way around but gets a little touchy and some parameters must be set before you draw your roof;
1- In your roof option, set your fascia as if it's a 2" x 4"
2- Draw your roof
3- Edit your gable end and in the Soffit/Fascia tab, uncheck the Fascia. Then, in the roof Edge Tab, check gable Frieze and set the height to 3 1/2" and the thickness to the width of your overhang.
4- Edit your hip ends and modify your Fascia Depth to 6" (or 5 1/2")
5- Surface/Copy Paste your Fascia to your Frieze
Now, the only thing is that your Frieze might appear thru your roof in 3D on and off (ghosting) as you zoom in and out but maybe because you would have a shallow overhang, it might not appear as much. If you set your roof option fascia to be a 2" x 6" from the start (avoiding step #!), you can than edit as per step #3 except that you'll be left with a gap because your siding will go up in the gable as if you fascia was a 2" x 6".
