Richard,
Come on...this isn't physically impossible.
As a matter of fact GS even has a help guide on this verydame issue, but as all GS help guides, they read like stereo manuals and not really a step-by-step easy to follow guide.
No matter, was able to get best I could w a morph object st the corners that take on the shape I need to make the sloped and the flat intersections work in 3D.

It's not impossible, done all the time by mediocre carpenters.

Rob,
You seem quite upset that ArchiCAD can't easily draw something that defies basic geometry, and is technically unbuildable as you're trying to do it. You have several options:

1) Give the roof a square-cut end, rather than a plumb cut. This will let you wrap the profile exactly.

2) Use a slightly stretched profile for the vertical crown molding height, which will match the sloped crown's plumb height. Not perfect, but about the best you can do with a vertical fascia.

3) Move to a non-Cartesian universe.

While your "can do" attitude is admirable, I assure you that the hypotenuse of a right triangle is never going to be the same length as either of the legs of that same triangle.
