Does anyone know of a method or object that would allow me to create an inwardly curved (convex) roof? I'm trying to create a roof over an angled bay window with standing seam roofing.

yes...exactly that!
is it a gdl object?

Getting the details right can become a real time-waster, especially if the design changes. It can push designers into either not using ArchiCAD properly (2D only) or limiting their building to what is easy to make in ArchiCAD. For example, if the concave roof in question had any kind of profile, complex profiles won't help at all. I made the attached image in under a minute, and the bending or shaping of the objects is all dynamic, i.e. you can readily tweak it until it looks right.
Standing seams are simple enough.
The point is that the complex profile deserves more investigation and application since it is so easy to edit after it is placed.
