You can frame it manually but the rafters are going to be plumb, which may not be what you want.  I find no way to rotate them to have sections perpendicular to the roof plane.

Thanks Gene, the slope is very shallow, probably 1/4" - 1/2":12 so plumb rafters are not a problem and I could have sworn there was a way to do this?  Thanks Again.

This is actually a great use of using Baseline Angle.

In the Roof spec, checking Pitch in Degrees shows the pitch you'd need to use - rotate your roof plane 90 degrees, set it 0 pitch and plug that baseline angle in.
