Use the roof tool.

This is a tricky one. The roof tool is still probably your best bet but it will be a chore fitting all the bits. There's a way to use the mesh tool to make the surfaces laying on their side, save as a library part, and rotate into place, but this is not simple to describe.

You might want to try OBJECTiVE. You can easily trim and rotate things in Elevation, Section or Plan view which you can't do with the roof tool. It is free for Students I believe.

I did qualify the free bit as for Students. AFAIK this is the case. If you are not a qualified Student then it is not free but worth every penny or whatever your currency happens to be.

Cheers,

There is a "Mesh to Roof" add-on which is great - you can model a complex surface with a mesh and then run the add-on to get individual roof objects.
Find it here:

OBJECTiVE will automatically work without entering registration details provided you are using an educational license for ArchiCAD. Just download from here, install, and you should be up and running. It will certainly make light work of the installation you're trying to model - let me know if you want further direction.

Hi Antonis,

Did you try Google SketchUp? http://sketchup.google.com/product/gsu.html They have a free version for download.
There is also a plug-in that allows importing SketchUp models into ArchiCAD (you can download it from here http://www.graphisoft.com/products/archicad/addons/sketchup/su_plugin_download.html )

Hope that helps,
Adrian Tudoreanu

I second the Adytc solution , it's easy to create such shapes in sketchup than in ArchiCAD.
