Spanish Roof Tiles

As known, we don't have to make in 3d every parts of buildings when use Revit.
We can use 2d elements for documents and it's good enough for construction.

But in some reasons, we have to make highly detailed models sometimes.

Roof tiles are one of them. It's not nessesary in 3d for construction documents. But without medeling, the visual effect can't be like real one.

In fact, I rarely use roof tiles in my projects. I tried this just because of my curiousity.

STEP 1.

At my first attempt, I tried with Sloped Glazing-the original feature of Revit2014.
Before try this, I didn't even know about this feature. I rarely design buildings with sloped roof.(most of architects in Korea do.)
I just got to know at one of RevitKid's posts by accident.
Just after I've known this feature. I thought it can help to place roof tiles.
So, I tryied. Watch this.

This seems good. But it has a little(or big) faulty.
Partial roof tiles can't be made with this way. they have to be replaced with system panels when partial ones necessary.
You will see what this means if you try yours or watch the next video.

So, I tryed to find the way fix this.

STEP 2.

The problem of Step1 was placing partial tiles.
As known, partial patterns are avalible with Curtain Wall Based families with Pattern.

And we can make Patterns in Adaptive Components.
So I tried, and could get a better result.

Just few people will need these. These families will make your project very heavy and tricky to control.

You can download all of the families I created above here.(ver.2013&2014 avalible)

And you have to use tab key when you use the ridge family to find a proper workplane.(it's a little tricky)

Update for Stephan Hösemann

He asked me how to make an opening on this.
And here is my solution.
Just use inplace-mass instead adaptive family.
