(Hope I am not too late - it is already morning here )

In the 3D window with the roof selected, go to Design > Align 3D texture > Set Origin, then pick the point at which your texture should start its repeat pattern.

(Edit - Reading again I see you are talking about a cover fill image, not a material texture, so you must be in either AC12 or 13. This information would have been helpful, add to your signature for future reference. And ignore the advice above, sorry)

Do they not work the same way as vectorial fills, with an option to locate the fill origin? ( I am still on AC11 so don't have image fills, probably the one feature of the latest upgrades I would like to have)

Stuart is correct - yes they do. So, with the roof selected, go to the cover fill options, set the Cover Fill Orientation to Link to Fill Origin and move the handle to where you want the image origin to be.
