Ah yes, I see why it is tricky using DCs - all the trimming around irregular shapes would have to be done afterwards.
Perhaps Profilemaker could create the roof surface automatically.
I am reminded of the LWCad videos here (http://www.wtools3d.com/swf/online_help/LWCAD_30/detailed_sidewalks/detailed_sidewalks.htm) and here (http://www.wtools3d.com/swf/online_help/LWCAD_30/shingles/shingles.htm) showing trimming roof tiles and paving being automatically applied and trimmed to irregularly-shaped surfaces.
Something like this in SU would be amazing! I would pay for it without a second's hesitation.
Amen to that!  I second the motion and would be willing to pay.  Especially the paving tools.  LWCAD is an awesome toolset.
