Looking down on roof it looks like a peanut.

Looking from front it slopes +- 36" like a shed roof.

Ceiling is flat.

 

It's not drawn yet because I have no idea how to handle this one.

How do you all handle a curved tapered roof system.

Draw a rectangular roof with the proper shed slope and then cut a funky hole around it? It most likely won't clean up well, especially with fascia and soffit. The ceiling can be a separate mess. Or, just draw it in SketchUp and import??

 

Is the fascia raked or plumb? I expect the soffit would have to rake.

Maybe I misunderstood. Are you just trying to get a truss to work? If so, it may be best to model it as a solid polygon in 2D for each truss using sections as references. Then you can add height, rotate, and import as a symbol. Or, model in SketchUp and import.

I got by with a shed roof for now. It actually work pretty well and ceiling works also. Roof for this job option is on hold for now.
