Spanish Tile Roof Eave Modeling Help

Do you guys have any ideas for how to model the traditional clay tile eave condition in my photos below?

I'm using the built-in roof surfacer set to "Italian Tiles" and have my ridges covered with the built-in Ridge Tile object.  I can rotate the ridge tile object in plan and in elevation to accommodate my roof slopes....I was hoping I could rotate it in section to create that eave condition, but it won't do that.  This is a very typical condition in a lot of my upcoming projects so I'd love to find a solution!

 

Any ideas???  thanks

Once more, in case the photos didn't come through in the original post

You would need a barge object that can do tiles along its length.

I an not sure if there is an object that does this in the default library as I don't use it and don't have Archicad in front of me at the moment to check.

 

Or maybe you could use a segmented inclined beam with tapered profiles?

Thanks Barry.  I came up with an easy way after all.  If I use the same built in ridge tile object that I'm using to cap my roof ridges, I can just convert it to a morph, and then it rotates freely in every direction.  I don't use morphs very often so it didn't occur to me, but it works a charm. 

Still looking?
