BIG roof hole

Tom Krowka

Here is a question....I have a donut shape building with a hole in the middle. I want the roof to spring toward the center of the building surrounding the hole, not the hole itself. In other words, there will be two pivot lines, one on the inside circumference, the other on the outside circumference with the peak between them two circumferai (new word). Any way to do it with the multiplane roof tool.

In reality, it's rectangular building, but I thought it would be easier to explain as a donut with the hole in the middle.

Or any other easy way. I know I could do it the manual way with each roof plane individual then trim, but am looking for the labor saving way.

Thanks.
