New Roof surfacer material

Tom Krowka
Enthusiast
I would like to add a material to the list of materials available in roof surfacer. It is a tile material, but has an embossed "Y" shape on it. It is an antique style of metal roof that the Client would like to use.

I have found where the material index is located in the "add-ons" in the program files.

I can scan in a .jpg of the material, or actually make one using roof slab.

Any way to get the roof surfacer to put it on the roof? I don't know how to program like it is in the AcRoofConv.txt file in Extras under Program files.

If that is not doable, how can I put an 11" x 17" metal tile on an existing roof? Copy it in a matrix on an angle? Can I even do that?

I would appreciate all and any input.
