      What is the best / easiest way to cut the roof off at the vertical plane I put in,
      want to keep the front part.

      Is there a plugin that would do this ? ( SU ver 8 )

        No need for a plugin. Just select all of the geometry, right click on it, choose Intersect Faces>With Selection and then erase the part you want to keep.

          Roof is group ... vertical face is group.

          Can I select all as is ... or should I explode then first ?

            Explode the vertical face, use Edit>Cut to cut it to the clipboard, open the roof group for editing, hit Edit>Paste in place. Then select all, use Intersect Faces>With Selection and erase the unwanted stuff.
