Help With Custom / Complex Roof Line

I have a rectangle floor plan with a non symmetrical layout.  My stock roof design was a simple gable and trying to make this look a bit more dramatic and modern.   I have a Google Street view of a commercial building (post office lol) that has the rough idea I am looking for.

 

I am looking for a straight vault on the red / blue roof panels.  Windows on the green and purple vertical walls.

 

Any pointers where to start here?  Can I even do this with automatic roof panes or is this a 100% manual job?  I started playing with the roof panes and pitches - got close but the interior ceiling panes are all messed up also.

you could try to play with roof pitches over certain ext walls.

Maybe make second storey that fits inside roof and play with ceiling heights.

 

I would have to play with it to make auto roof work and I just find that a PIA.

 

If it was me, just too easy to make manual roof planes for that roof and then some attic knee walls for those walls in roof with windows.

 

Whatever method you choose play with it and figure it out you will learn while playing and eventually get what you want.

And for the next roof you have more knowledge
