Damon,
You can create a faceted roof to approximate the curve. It would require a fair amount of x,y,z editing in the detailed mode.

Hi Damon:
If you thusly have a circular building with a circular roof (i am thinking like a silo), just make a roof facing direction every 22/12 Degrees (to align with your facing wall. I believe if the the zspace is aligned with that 22/12 Degrees, all you need? to do is tilt up the roof at the appropriate angel.
Or are we speaking more of a mushroom?
