Tony_Sterba Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I would love to show a clay tiled roof on this plan - but can't because all the roof patterns/samples that are supplied are flat and 2 dimensional. The attached jpg just shows shingles for now, bu when I use the roof tiles (Spanish look), it looks... not even close to real. Is there a way to have clay roof tiles on a roof that looks decent? I downloaded some 3D tiles and tile ridges - but they are individual and can't be used as an entire surface. There are a lot of professional geniuses on this board that use this program.. any advice to steer me in the right direction?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 That looks like a metal roof to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi Tony, There have been a couple of recent discussions on this topic. Take a look : This method may also be able to be applied to a job like yours : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark3D Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I am wondering if a good normal map and good texture would get you by with this i have not tried it but see what others think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelbuilding Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hi Tony, Try these tiles. Link to dropbox for these maps. https://www.dropbox.com/s/o91i30be9g5lls2/Boral Roof Tiles.7z?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelbuilding Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Tony, I found a roof tile similar to what you posted. I lowered the resolution because high resolution slows CA quite considerable. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xzli5q040i5cecv/AAB8QoyDrrhqkhTwIpOxqBjXa?dl=0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard_Morrison Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I was hoping to see some additional suggestions here. While you can get along without the tiles in the main body of the roof (using material assignments only), there are still the rake tiles and the ridge tiles, which don't have obvious solutions. It would be great if there was a full complement of 3D moldings symbols for Spanish tile roofs. I'll make the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have such a set of symbols that can be used with Distribution Regions and Molding PLines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aereed82 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I tried opening some of these Dropbox links but they wouldn't open for me. Currently drawing a very large house that will require tile. Can someone please share one of the better Dropbox links with me again. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Here's some samples of what I do. These are 3D Mission Roof Tile Symbols placed using Distribution Regions, Distribution Paths and Ridge Caps. Each tile is a symbol but using distribution regions for the field tile and separate symbols for the Ridge Caps and Rake Assemblies the result is just about as realistic as it can get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
