This thread is about building roofs for cornerhouses without having to resort to slabs. Slabs are nice, but they’re still visible when using other view modes. And recreating the auto pattern is annoying.
Recently, @nikosthefan posted a suggestion for creating better looking roofs. Thing is, you can already create such roofs with the editor we have now.
All you have to do is to cover one wing of the house with slabs or a floor. Place the roof on the uncovered wing and adjust is. Delete the floor/slabs then, place another roof and adjust it accordingly. Then just use offset to merge the second roof with the first one. Hearthlings will build it correctly.
First step:
Deleting the floor and putting up the second roof:

Building vision working:
Works with a light overhang for both roofs, too:

Edit: Did some more testing. It doesn’t seem to work if there are columns too close to each other. This house stayed unfinished:
