        It's pretty easily done using premade roof-tile component[s] and a script to place instances of it at spacings across a face - i.e. a roof plane. You'd need to specify the 'eaves-line' [horizontal] on the plane, and eaves-overhang, ridge-setdown, the batten 'gauge'... It's also tricky to trim them into unique components at hips and valleys... but not impossible.
        BUT the cruncher is... adding this much geometry to your model will kill it!
        Why not use textures for roof finishes and a few detailed roof-tile components in separate skp's as 3D assembly details if they are needed... โ“

          Yes you are right, I have a hard time trimming all tile pieces, they were components.

          Thankyou TIG

            I'm planing to 3D print the Roof(tiles).
            This is why it would be cool to have a Roof-Tile Plugin.
            Does someone know a good one ?

            Kind regards
            Alain

              Now it has become a reality: a powerful plugin for roof modeling and laying 3D roof tilesโ€”even on curved surfaces. Find out more at:

                  Thanks for the heads-up! Purchased a license. Any chance the plugin interface can be in English?
