Cant get started with the floor and roof I need

Hi, I'm doing this with the automatic start feature but I can't get what I need, the roof is too complex and cladding is only horizontal. I'm tring to build a 6500x4500 with a max height of 2480 workshop on a concrete base, no floor battens and a flat roof with a 5 degree slope along the 4500 dimension. The roof is built from 150 x 47 timbers on 600 centres covered with 2400 x 1200 18mm osb. The walls are 100x47 on 600 centres with 2400x1200 12mm osb. I want to cross batten the outside to hang vertical 121x26 composite cladding. I cant see how to do this with the autobuild feature. Could you do this to start me off please? Thanks and best regards, Tony

How is the roof too complex? Is it the battens? You can skip battens, and only use sheathing if that's what you need? check this video for making simple concrete base: https://youtu.be/KgyepBOjoE0?si=UWw-x98Y0SYOMBAg There are currently no option for automatic vertical cladding, but it's in the works. It is possible to use the cc tape measure tool to make battens and siding. I will make a video on this soon.
