Pyramidal Roof

//helpcenter.graphisoft.com/wp-content/uploads/ac22_help/040-elementsvb/Pyramid.png 

Try two ways of making a pyramid roof:

On the Floor Plan, use the Roof Tool - Multi-plane construction method, with the Rectangular Hip geometry method, to draw a square roof outline.

Another way is to select the ridge of an ordinary hip roof in the 3D Window. Use the “Stretch Ridge vertically” command from the pet palette, and move the cursor up until the ridge endpoints meet in the middle.
