Welcome!

No, ArchiCAD can't automatically do the whole roof with a hole in. You will have to split it down in to chunks that AC would understand and edit manually afterwards, or build it all from scratch.

The roof is sufficiently complex that there are a number of ways of 'solving' that roof. If it could do it automatically, the chances that ArchiCAD would interpret it correctly are slim.

Also, I don't know if you have spotted but a couple of the walls you have shown are not 'quite' straight either, which may cause problems for you later. Best to straighten them now!

Hope that helps.

(In future it would be more helpful to add a better descriptive title, as 'HELP WITH ARCHICAD' could apply to any post on an ArchiCAD forum!! Also make sure you add your AC version and computer specs to your signature for more accurate help, as advice can be specific to the version)
