I think the simpest way is to draw the elevation in 2D, model a curved slab horizontal to it, and then rotate that 90 degrees.

Well Rod,

You haven't detailed the shape of your roof, when viewed by orthografic projection.
You can use a partial Horizontal Cyllinder as well. May be you will need to 'Explode' it into polygons to make cuts and take it to the final shape.

If it's shape is regular, you could also try a 'covered' polyline, where you can choose a curved shape too, and editing later to make the shape finishing.
In this case you should work on orthografic projection, exploding it later to change the position.

Indeed, there are several options available, regarding the complexity of your roof.

Hope this helps,
Miguel
