You can use roof:direction=. For a symmetric one, either down slope can be used.

There's https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/roof:shape=diagonal_pass apparently derived from https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM-4D/Roof_table#Note:_How_to_tag_roof:orientation_for_roof:shape=side_hipped_and_similar_roof_shapes? --- it's only necessary in case of convex V-shape with a "ditch", or when it has uneven height.

Hi Kovoschiz, I am used to 3D but 4D ? Thanks anyway. But it is just where I was looking for to tag a non regular roof shape.
