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?

You could model it with a mesh and then use the mesh-to-roof add-on the convert to roof elements. Also, if you look in the gdl object depository (http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/object_depository.php?browse=Depository/13%20Special%20Construction/Basic%20Shapes) download the mesh3d V2 object to model this, however i would opt for the former as it will give you more flexibility it the design-to-documentation process.

Make a roof sloping up and rotate the orientation line to get the side tilt.
Mirror the roof.
