I'm looking to create a sloped gable roof and a sloped wall like in this example picture. Can someone point me to a thread or video that would explain how to do this?

Curved roof edges are available in the normal roof editing menu. Choose "profile" and it will open the curved profile selections.

Thanks! - I found the "profile" option but not having any luck with it. I definitely want a concave curve at the lower end of one side.

What does the profile height and profile width refer to? The overall size or proportional to a foot? I tried creating a profile after drawing a slope profile the actual size of the gable and tried different values but each time I create a roof with it (or the stock one) it generates a standard roof. What am I missing?

Width and height of the profile on the roof ... try inputting some ridiculously large figures to see what it does.

 

For example try 72" x 72" or 96" x 36" etc. Just experiment so you can see what happens.

 

Don't try and create a roof with it. Create a standard roof and EDGE EDIT to add the profile.
