I do these things in Gimp. Set up a view for the roof edge, place the top and bottom connection points of the gable, and then place those onto the roof template. Then I make a line for the gable width and measure the lines. Create the template for each side of the gable roof from those measurements. I am assuming that 'clipped gable roof' is what we would call a hip roof around here. Again, it comes down to finding your connection points and measuring the lines, rotate the lines until they touch the corners. Scot suggests working from the angles, where I like rotating lines.
