To create a roof like this you do not make a roof.
Haha.
Archicad is like that.

You make a sectional fill shape called a complex profile and then you extrude it as a wall.

See this:

Uncle Eric's Complex Profile Tricks

It is better because you can put all kinds of trim details in the section to make it look more like a roof. And edit the form more quickly.

with roof tool i made this but can't cut some parts of roof

Too bad.

Throw all of the roof away and make it with the complex profile instead.

Give it a chance.
You will shout joyous cuss words of amazement!

The extrusion follows the wall, straight or curved.

To trim, use a Solid Element Operation
