Hello,

How would I find information about the process of creating a parametric tile roof family or component?

When I'm finished with the creation I'd like it to be able to multiply the tiles as I stretch it across the top of the roof. Is this even possible with Revit? It would look nice for renderings.

 Thank you for any info offered.

I live in a climate very hostile to terracotta, and parametric families are not my forte.  So I shouldn't be speaking, but a possible workaround popped into my head -- a beam system.  Take a preexisting parametric beam family, and model your tiles... the overlapping  ~~~ shapes -- make them a fixed, sensible width like 1' 6", so your beam array can have an offset of 12" and shazzam!  a nice tessellated roof.  The footprint of a beam system allows you to draw whatever shape you choose, and the work plane can be set to match the face of the roof.

You can also use the "Sloped Glazing" system in your roof, search in forums and you will see some threads explaining this process...

Cheers
