Have you tried the Roof Accessory? (Select roof, go to Design> Design Extras> Accessories> Roof Accessories )

If you are using a flat roof, you just chanhge the orentation of the springline. However, if the roof is (like a roof) sloped then you just sit there seething at the makers of this insane tool that makes corrugated roofs and standing seam roofs just fine but makes roof decks EXACTLY WRONG.

ArchiCAD is an architecture tool. It's supposed to get the architecture part right. Right?
