Easy. Make it with walls and either trim with roofs or use SEOs to get the sloping sides.

how exactly do i make the storefront portion

Oh, you asked about the entrance, so I assumed you meant the door enclosure.

The curtain wall can be made with a roof with holes punched through for the glass openings (and additional roofs for the glass). Make one hole and reset the edges to perpendicular, then multiply it across and up (and/or down) to make the rest of the openings.

You can find an example for doing this kind of construction with FrameWright at http://www.encina.co.uk/tiltedwall.html

Actually all that interior is very easy to do, and there are many ways to make it. You can build library element for example, make it from roofs, using solid element operations, etc. If you have problem how to make something be a little more precise.

The root of my problem is i am not familiar with Archicad, I have used autocad for 8 years or more now I'm trying to learn archicad and finding it very difficult. The model shown was created in autocad with simple solid operations. So its going to take me a while to get used to the archicad UI.
I have to say many thanks for the speedy replies and in advance for any future help

Do you have anybody physically accesbile who can show you ArchiCAD? Nothing beats live contact - if you don't, weaning yourself off the old habits might be a problem.
