If you download the 2D, you can create a simple 3D from it, and then reorient it in the symbol wizard.

Jonathan, All this is possible in SoftPlan. Here is a quick example. Was done freehand so is not quiet symmetrical. Just use site mode to create the shape. I used sidewalk as the main shape and building outline to cut the shapes. You could initially bring in an image and resize to trace. Then just save it as a symbol and set the orientation to be correct. I am sure others on this forum can help with that.

By altering the height and width the pitch can be set to fit the roof line.

I never thought to use site plan mode to create these. I learn something new everyday reading this forum.

Because you can cut holes with site mode - otherwise you have to use the "in/out" method to get a FULL polygon, by making the holes part of the outer perimeter.
