Opposite roof pitches

Hey guys, I got the the attached graph paper file from a client who wants his roof to look this way.  The roofing is to be corrugated metal. I know this can be physically accomplished in the real world because the metal can be cut. However, I have been very unsuccessful  in getting this to work in chief.  I need to know if anyone has been able to complete a look like this and if so, how did you do it. Thank you in advance for your thoughts and input.

You can raise the large roof to provide a wall against which the small roof can terminate:

Or you can slope both roof planes in the same direction and join them along the common edge:

Or you could create a hipped intersection:

There are other possibilities as well, but what you want is not doable.

Thanks guys. Chop saw, I figured as much.It will require a twist and some serious cutting, even then I doubt it would have   really worked well.  I wanted to double check before I told them and faced the  "what do you mean I can't do it this way" look,. It's nice to know every once in a while that I am not totally off. Thanks!!!
