A very common roof style is one which is part-gabled, part-hipped - i.e. where the gable wall is trapezoidal rather than triangular with a hip section above the gable, and with the adjacent roof faces having a "chamfered" edge to match the gable + hip arrangement.
It may be possible to do this with roof faces, but I don't see an easy way of doing this with the create roof tool. The create roof tool generates a hipped roof which can then have each face changed to eave (hipped), gable or dutch-hip - but I'd like my new option of part-gable added to this list, with the ability to specify how far up the gable wall the hip part should be.
