Special roof shape (diamond folded in half with three corners level and one raised corner)

Hi,

 

I am not having any luck finding a way to create a certain type of roof in Chief Architect. It is basically a square folded in half diagonally, leaning on one side with the 4th corner raised up so that it forms a straight folded line. It's raising the 4th corner that I am having a hard time with.

 

I have illustrated what I mean with a piece of tin foil as well as an example from a house (with two such roofs).

 

Would anyone have any leads on how to achieve that?

 

Thank you

Yes, that's what I'm hoping to achieve. How did you do that? I am not sure how to raise the corner wall except manually/informally dragging it (locked to Z axis), and them I'm not sure how to either get the roof to follow the wall, draw the roof planes on top, or drag the roof corner (locked to the Z axis). Or is it something that can only be done using 3d objects?
