Hi

I am trying to draw a standing seam roof and can see the best way to do this is with roof glazing. My roof is curved, I have added grid lines which up show along the curved roof, I then added mullions but the mullions are not curving with the roof. Could someone please advise on what I am doing wrong, thanks

Mullions will not curve in that direction so this is a poor solution.  In most cases, you can just use a model material and your roof will render correctly.  If you must model the battons, then extrude one from an elevation and copy that accross the roof.  If there are more than just a few, don't model in-plcae but create a family instead.

I'm in the same position here..where can I find model material to show standing seam roof in my rendering?

from what I'm reading, there seems to be "standing seam roof" material in the material library? I think it's missing from my revit..I'm using Revit Arch in building design suite 2013
