Problem I am trying to solve:

is there any way I can have a perfectly triangular interior/exterior roof?

I have tried with  all the 60 degree inclines/blocks/gables and I haven't found any that work. maybe because the solution block doesn't have 60 in it and I need to look at all the wedges?

outside view:

based on the research and architecture I have looked at so far, the block I am looking for doesn't exist. But I have been wrong in the past.

oh and one random question, is there a preferred etiquette for posting images on forums? I can't be bothered with uploading images to an external site and posting an imgur. It seems like alot of unnecessary effort. I totally  understand paste-binning logs  for bug reports but I think where appropriate it is acceptable to hide images with spoilers

Is this what you're looking for? I'm still kinda new with building but funny enough roofs was the first and only thing i've messed with

I only used two block types, the standard ramp, and the standard cube shape. I upgraded random blocks so you could kinda see how all the pieces fit

outside:

inside:

Granted the inside will technically be slight smaller than what it seems from outside

 
I am using the wedge slope 60 blocks, and this roof took me an hour or 2 to figure out which blocks to use and where. In every odd block roofed PoI I checked the top row was always half blocks with gables ontop

 
so what I want is achievable, but only if the roof dimensions are even length  wise.

we would need to make a 1x1 version of this block maybe?

alternativeley we would need a cube 1/2 inverted gable corner that would also have a built in filler slope triangle that would taper off towards  center of the inverted part. Idk if anyone can visualize that or understand what I am trying to explain

l think it would look like the block picture below, but you would make a cutout from the other side of the block to the front so it looks full at the back but would be hollow at the front. Note: I am using a 1/2 gable to help visualize the cut out hollow section at the front

 I HAVE VISUALIZED IT . you would need a 3d  Triangle to fill half of the gable.

You could call it Cube 1/2 gable inverted quarter End 
or Cube 1/2 gable inverted quarter slope filler?

Idk how you name blocks but I have a visual of the space the modifcations to the block would need to cover.

Purple concrete blocks: wedge 60 incline corner
Red: Wedge 60 incline
Purple: Cube 1/2 gable invertered quarter

tetrahedron

to keep it simple :)

so in otherwords we would need to modify the   Cube 1/2 gable inverted quarter with a tetrahedron to create a perflectly triangular roof for roofs with widths that are an odd number of meters.

 
Could name it something catchy:

Tetris (taken)

Tetas Cube (spanish wordplay)

Teats Cube (since is only good for one thing)

Etc.

@Roland Could you please see if the people responsible for adding blocks would be willing to make/add  a  Cube 1/2 gable invertered quarter with a tetrahedon that would fill this painted area marked out by MS paint lines:
