Hi Kslatnick,

Of course you can. Just use the freehand roof and set the pitch according with your necessities.

For learning purposes

the user sent me a sketch of his plan. This is the explanation--> how to develop roofs with double pitch
(see the image attached)

I painted the walls and roofs with different colors so you can follow the explanation
(Note, the roofing wizard doesn't help for this roof)

1 - draw the plan with special attention to the side walls (cyan and magenta in this case)--> set the walls' height--> set the walls' shape (both are pitched walls--> 2nd and 3rd icons of the walls' shapes) --> set the walls' pitches--> if you are not sure of the pitches, you can set the pitches at the end
2 - Go to the roofing tab--> select the Four-Point Freehand Roof tool (8th icon)--> using the side walls, create the two roof pieces--> rotate the pitches + 45° (for the red roof) and -45° (for the green roof)--> in this way your roof pieces will be pitches in both directions
3 - Set the pitches of the side walls accordingly (notice that it is not the same pitch of the roof because you should consider the 45° angle)
4 - create a wall segment in the center (yellow) --> elevate it to the lower part of the green roof--> set the wall height and shape (I used the 9th icon)--> set the pitch
5 - The roof is ready
