Keep it as simple as possible (fewest polygons). Once you multiply them all over the roof the model will become quite large (in MB) and tax your computer's rendering speed.<BR /> <BR /> Use a couple of nested FOR ... NEXT loops to make the tiles. For example:<BR /> <BR /> ROTX roof_angle - 90<BR /> FOR i = 1 TO A/tile_width<BR /> FOR j = 1 TO B/tile_length<BR /> !!! EXTRUDE... or whatever to make one tile<BR /> ADDX tile_width<BR /> NEXT j<BR /> ADDZ tile_length<BR /> NEXT i<BR /> <BR /> (note: normally I would indent the code within the FOR...NEXT loops but this system strips leading spaces and combines multiple ones so I can't do it here)<BR /> <BR /> The really complex part (which I won't attempt here) is working out the transformations (ADD and ROT statements) to make the curvature. It might be easiest to make only half a roof in the library part and mirror it in the building model (or make it in two halves within the GDL). This way the first tile is flat and the curvature starts upward from it.<BR /> <BR /> I also recommend making the part a simple rectangular form and using SEOs to cut it to fit the hips and valleys.<BR /> <BR /> Leave yourself plenty of time to figure this out. Good luck! <BR /> <BR /> Please post a rendering when you are done. I am sure that others would share my interest in seeing the results.

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/i-need-help-for-modeling/m-p/39237#M19559 thank you for answer<BR /> but i can;t understand still<BR /> i can't start because i didn;t know how to make roof form <BR /> you said tile only <BR /> i don;t know gdl object well <BR /> can you make model simply Tue, 27 Apr 2004 13:15:52 GMT

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/i-need-help-for-modeling/m-p/39238#M19560 What I meant is that before starting to script the object you MUST understand how the shapes work together.<BR /> Unfortunately from the image you sent us we can only suppose how the roof surface goes in the 3D space but, in order to avoid to waste time making a wrong element, we (or at least me!) need more info on the shape morphology/geometry.<BR /> <BR /> Friendly<BR /> Fabrizio Tue, 27 Apr 2004 13:36:35 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/i-need-help-for-modeling/m-p/39238#M19560 Fabrizio

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/i-need-help-for-modeling/m-p/39253#M19575 Hi Anycg,<BR /> <BR /> I use gdl's SWEEP command in modelling this West-Sumatran traditional roof. Sweep a polygon then use CUPLANE/CUTPOLY to achieve correct shape.
