You can use the object "Curved Ramp xx.gsm" (xx.....version of AC used) that is part of Standard Library.
If the roof curve is not circular but ELLIPSE, use "Ramp Ellipse.gsm" by Olivier Dentan......http://pagesperso-orange.fr/archilib.od/index.html

and if on one side the form is curve but on the other it is in straight angles?

Then make the roof wider and then use slabs with straight form as SEO operators to cut the excess parts of roof. For your safeness make a copy of the roof if you make changes after the save as object. Next SAVE the roof as OBJECT (from 3D window, view from the top).

You could try modelling this with OBJECTiVE. The attached image roughly models what you want, with a steadily rising curve on the inside and straight edges on the outside. The rising curved roof is a rising profile bent to a curve, and the OBJECTiVE Split tool was used to cut the straight edges.

I would probably use the mesh tool to form the top surface of the roof, drag a copy down by its thickness and subtract it for the final form (the copy to be put on hidden SEO layer per standard practice).
