How about one arch with legs and then array it, ungroup, and join?  

 

or, all the arches in none roof extrusion and then legs of arches as walls that are attached to roof? 

 

or...to be continued...

 

 

 

 

Method #1:

Model in place.

Ah this worked! Although I got rid of the legs because they taper at the bottom by 2 inches so the result looked better without as I couldn't replicate on a ceiling all the same thickness. I might add the taper as a mass later if needed. I now am struggling with what you mean by adding the legs as walls? Or would it be easier to add a mass in place? Sorry if I sound picking am trying to create the preexisting building haha

You mean tapered like this?

Using the same method I showed you yesterday, you could easily taper the arch legs with In-Place Component VOIDS that cut away a portion of each leg.

Structural Beam system is one easy option.

I have made the ceiling and am trying to cut out the angles, but am still having some problems as the void form wont cut the ceiling shape.

Is the Void in an In-Place Component? You need to use the Cut Geometry tool to cut the Ceiling before closing out of In-Place Component editing mode.  If you're still unable to make the cut, then post the file.
