You need to use the PolyRoof geometry method of the Roof Tool. Check its description in the Help files.
Also, when you are actually creating the Roof, draw a Circle and SPACE-click it to use the Magic Wand functionality to create the 5 or sided polygon you need. Before doing that you have to set your Magic Wand settings correctly.

GuillaumeMCA:

After you have created the plan shape (with walls or lines), select the Roof Tool, select the Polyroof Geometry Method, and Magic Wand the lines or walls. A dialog box will appear with options for the number of roof levels (as well as some other options) for the roof that will be automatically created.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
