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.
