How to model a....

[Arcadia]

... bullnose verandah. Not sure if this is just an Aus term but it is essentially a verandah made with curved steel roofing sheets. It is easy enough to model this with a complex profile then put a vectorial hatch on it to represent the ribs of the sheeting but being a pedantic bugger I want something more detailed. I use the cadimage roof coverings which actually show the ribs of the sheets accurately. Is there any way to extrude some sort of corrugated profile of a single roof sheet (easy enough if it was straight with complex profile) but have the extrusion curved to the shape I want. I hope I have explained things properly.

It may not be worth it for this one project but I use this tool more than any other add-on I have purchased for AC. I use it for almost of my framing including trusses and many other things. Check out the site videos and you will get some idea of what you may use it for. It is just so versatile. You will not be sorry. Cough up the bucks! This is not a paid advertisement.

Personally i would model the top layer of your roof a little thicker and SEO a lot of little sheets out of the roof to create the profile then I would go with a vectorial hatch for such a fine detailed extrusion.
