I am a new user of ArchiCAD 9 and I want to design a roof similar to the one that appears as a logo everytime I start ArchiCAD.
I have tried the roof tool but I find it difficult to join the edges, especially when I try to connect single roofs that are not on the same height.
I would be greatfull for any help, thanks...!

Joining different parts together while not being on the same height and rotating them in order one to touch another is quite complicated.
Basic Technique:

1. Select roof (plan or 3D)

2. Command/Control click edge of other roof to join to selected roof.

3. Repeat as necessary for that lustrous shine.

But that will alter both roofs. (rooves?)

I interpret this "meeting," based in what Comet Boy posted as his objective, to refer to dragging tilted elements in space most easily done visually by dragging horizontally and vertically in 3D.

So now he has both answers.
