Heh. I think I need more Tea.

Looking again at that image I'm realizing that's not a true elevation, that curve is the eave, looking from below, huh?

Yeah this has to be done manually, and it'll only be as smooth as you make it.

With most polylines you can use a Change Line/Arc button to change a straight line to an Arc - but not with Roofs.

Instead, you'll need to draw out an Arc to the size of the curve you're looking for, then with it selected use the Convert to Polyline tool to convert it into a segmented polyline. Break up the Eave edge and manually adjust it to match.

I think it is a true elevation, it's a shed roof, like msmith said. The high edge is facing us.

 

But I liked your first "interpretation"! :D

Yeah I was really on a roll with that one -- hey I don't question people's design concepts!

Or..

Use a rectangular polyline with one side converted to a curve.

Then convert the curve to a polyline with a high number of sides.

Select the roof and then use boolean subtraction to subtract the polyline from the roof.
