    I don't quite get you. You can just put walls diagonally to make a normal roof, but i'm not sure that thats whay you mean.

    I believe he wants hanging roofing ( like past the walls ) anyways to do that just float a slanted wall where you want save and quit or use the other method stated.

    a lot of people do the same thing for their roofs, try something different. I think it would be cool if you used bridges and layed them down like this:
    l ll ll ll l
    l ll ll ll l
    l ll ll ll l

    So that the bridge's short ends will make the apex of the roof

    For a map I'm working on, I'm using Upside-down bridges as a roof. It's interesting, I promise!

    Hmm simple, Just put double boxes on the 2nd or first floor of the house then place stair cases on the floor and put bridges on the stair cases. Then delete the stairs... bam! a roof. Repeat the proccess on the other side...
