You can use the roof tool but it will be segmented. The best way is to use a profiled wall or beam

In the US version it is at:

Design > Complex Profiles > Profile Manager

This opens the palette for managing wall, beam and column profiles. To edit or create one, click the appropriate button and a drawing window will appear. You draw the profile you want with fills (the line, etc. tools are active but have no effect on the use of the profile). Click the "Store Profile" button when you are done.

To use the profiles you need to select the correct type. In the info palette for walls there is a row of buttons with four choices: simple/straight, sloping, canted, and profiled (similar for beams and columns but fewer choices).

Or for the one over the stairs:
1. Draw your roof in section. Draw the wooden parts too
2. Copy all of them and paste on plan
3. Redraw both with slabs. Pay attention to use different materials.
4. Select them and see how they look in 3D. Correct them if you need to.
5. Choose axonometric view, elevation, looked from 90 degrees.
6. See them in 3D and save as gsm.
7. Go to Plan View, open LibParts and it is there! Just put it on plan!

Nice house, by the way!

Now with Virtual trace.. you can merge steps "1,2,3" by using section as reference

Still on AC10! Time to move to 11, yeah?

You could do the one over the stairs as a Profiled wall too, just as two different ones, one for the "solid" frame and one for the wood joists. It would be a small maybe 1') length, then the joists, then another 1' length going side-to-side across the stairs. No objects needed and highly editable.

Did I mention I'm a big profiled wall nut?
