In addition to Djordje's response - where the lib parts have a param for rotating about the X or Y axis - the next thing is to convert your 4:12 pitch to an angle in degrees. No need to do the math. Just open the roof tool settings and use it as a conversion calculator: select 4:12 or whatever and then change the units display to degrees, read the result, and use that for your parameter value.
