BTW.. you're CUSTOM PROFILE idea would have worked...
1. Create profile as if level (no slope)
2. Use HORIZONTAL STRETCH
3. Make profile available to BEAMS
4. Apply profile to beam
5. Use BEAM's ROTATE parameter to match roof slope
6. Use modified slope to match HIP slope
Someday will have profiled edges for SLABS and ROOFs and this discuss will be moot.
