Hi friends, how can I draw this pitched roof in Archicad?

Operating system used: Windows 12

The easiest way is most probably to use the "Mesh-to-Roof" Goodie add-on.

Draw the roof structure with a mesh, then use the add-on, done. (Mostly. You might want to check vertical alignment... roofs sadly are always tied to the inner surface.)

Another method is to cut a hole in the roof after you have created it. I would attempt to magic wand the roof base polygon with roof tool active after setting the parameters then cut a hole in it.

Here is an official video on how to cut a hole in a roof from a while back now.

Find the playlist for Complex Roofs in Archicad for a refresher.

I hope you also have the 2D elevations to refer to as well when editing the roof to the correct geometry ?
