HELP?????

I am trying to model a roof that I very simply can draw, ugh. Please see attached PDF and JPEG of plan and model of this roof. I am trying slope so ridge line is lower than eave line as shown, basically an inverted gable, but then I want to take this inverted gable and make it slope like a shed roof, how do I do this in ArchiCAD?

Here is a link to a post with a few different options.
This should help.

Basically you want a roof plane that slopes in 2 directions.
And then mirror for the second side and trim together.

The easiest way is to define the roof in the 3D window.
