Your ArchiCAD Help resource shows how to create a groin vault roof, the principles of which should work for you here. You create an object, use the marquee to cut it then save as an object. Go to Help and type "vault roof" into your help search facility. Click on "Cutting with the marquee tool".
Hope this helps.

i did revisited and did it in pieces cuz the flat rect in the middle, but decent enough and not as lengthy as i thought....tons of thx
