The roof structure must drain to comply with most existing codes.

Maybe if you make drawings and have a structural engineer review the work, he can get away with minor or no changes.

Afterset bolts are a nono - thru bolts are best, with plate washers and ties to the roof/floor joists. Seldom get the floor diaphragms to meet the 3.5:1 ration, so have to add frames or shear walls.
