AC15_Clay Tile Roofs

Hi, I'm wondering:
How does one show in 3D, a typical barrel shaped 2 piece clay tile, on a pitched roof in AC15?

Has the roof surfacer add-on have a Roman style tile, as the closest thing available? Is it possible get the under tile to be barrel, and not flat?

We have spanish roof tiled models, and have been using a good gdl object that is not compatible with AC15, either as a stand alone object, or a 3rd party object loaded to the surfacer add-on.

Any thoughts or recommendations are welcome. Thanks in advance.

I had to model a very simple bungalow last month, where the old roof add on would have helped put some meat on the bones of my very basic looking model. In the end I used the ridge tile object as a fix, as the roof was very simple, but it's not an ideal solution at all.

Didn't find the answer?
