Hi, well, I just built a square 24 x 24 walls. Then I put my first roof on. It's gray. even though I do have it set on realistic.

You know the tin roofs that is on the farm houses? I'd like to make it look like that.

How is revit supposed to know this is a tin roof?  Read these in your HELP:

  1. Compound Structure 
  2. Materials in Compound Geometry 
  3. Materials

Thanks, I read those. Then I clicked on my roof, materials, Roofing-Metal Standing Seam, Render Appearance tab, replace, Roofing>>

Then I see the list of shigles, spanish tiles etc. But I don't see the tin roof I want. Is there a way to make that pattern and put it there?

ok, I give. I have tried.

I opened profile Family template. Drew the drawing (profile) exactley liked the picture and saved. then I opened up Structural Framing - Beams and Braces.rft. I loaded the profile. It shows up in the project browser under families, profiles.

Next I deleted the rectangular that was provided. then drew a rectangular the size of the profile and extrued it. The I clicked sweep. under the sweep, the profile drop down menu is empty. What do I do next?
