Well, if you dont want to type out all the issues, why not just copy and paste your multi roof solution in to a blank file, so we can all see it? Otherwise, we agree to disagree. Its doable.
In terms of geometry you're right. But a roof ends 100mm behind the exterior wall surface, over which lies a fascia (see floorplan). Try and model that.
That issue about the fascia does not explain why you have to do the roof one pitch at a time, though.
(Aaron: twice in this week, we have posted at exactly the same time in hours and minutes, and you post first by seconds. This time I am not going to delete mine, since we are saying different things.)

Ill have to download the file and look at it this weekend. Have been in meetings all morning.
@clogboy: Im not trying to make you remember them all, im more than happy to agree to disagree on the issue. But you cant expect evryone to just *accept* that it cant be done, when it looks seemingly possible and you dont remember why it cant.
Maybe I'm wrong here, but give it at try...
Make gable line adjust to the full extend of the roof. If you then have to pull the construction back 100mm, customize a roofbased Void family for this one instance (Don't bother with parametrics). I did a quick try with an In-Place Family (Dont't tell anybody, I try to avoid them) and it works. Maybe actually this an instance where the In-Place family comes to it's rights.
Still there could be a lot more to it, so until the details arrives this what I can contribute with.
Next week I get the fun of modeling a complex hip roof with a large well in the center of it. There will be at least two different pitches and if I'm...
Variable thickness roofs seems to be the way to deal with 'flat' roof drainage slopes. You cant seem to set a slope though, I have to pick individual...
