Gable end roof lollypops attached to phantom or hidden walls to the inside of the home. Have fun! after you do one, the others are easy. I usually start with a line determining the angle i'm looking for then make the phantom wall right on the line.

One method I use for a prow roof (pointed gable) when I have a flat gable wall is to set the gable overhang to the point distance and then cut triangle holes in the roof to get the shape. One problem I experienced with this is that the soffit does not render underneath when I use this method. I would prefer this technique than trying to add extra hidden walls, layering them, etc, but I wonder if anyone else used this method I am explaining and had the same issue. I may have to use hidden walls if the missing soffit can't be fixed anytime soon.
