how to demolish part of existing pitched roof for insertion of new rooms or floor structure

You can use the opening tool to cut out the section you need removed. I'm thinking you can phase the opening as needed for demo purposes.

In that case I would copy the roof to the same place and phase the copy, demolish the original and add the opening to the phased copy.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Split tool could split floors, roofs, and other objects? Right now it can split walls horizontally and vertically, and it can split lines. I think that's it?

I think that's it?This tool is very much needed, The way I've been demoing part of a roof is to copy the roof to the same place. Then remake one copy into the parts staying, and the other into parts being demo'd. That way it shows up correctly in demo plan and elevations. Watch the phasing when you copy the roof as the copy will assume the view's current phase, not the orig roof's phase.
