If you model it all as a Complex Profile, I figure you should be able to use the beam tool then change the rotation and slope of the segments as required after drawing it in plan. ArchiCAD will finish all your connections then.

Hm, I had assumed railings would not work in this case due to how it handles connections.

I was just playing with it myself and discovered the gable ridge problem too.
I even managed to get the transition at the corner when the side profile remains vertical.
The enclosed railing (finishing where you start) is a known problem and hopefully one that will get fixed.

For those following along.
It seems to work best if you use a profile with the origin on the outside of the profile (for testing I just used the stair nosing profile).
Use the profile width as the offset for the railing.
This will move it out from under the roof.
Set the rail connection to a 'Direct Connection' and use the profile width for extension 1 length.
You may need to do this for extension 2 length depending whether the railing was drawn clockwise or anti-clockwise.
The direction of the profile (which side of the origin it is on) will determine which direction you have to draw the railing (I think - I am still testing all of this).
