Hi All

or how would i go creating one

thanks

I usually just represent metal roofs as a model pattern of parallel lines spaced 12" apart.

Depending on the project you could aslo use a Curtain Wall element

If you just need a hatch for construction drawings, a model pattern of parallel lines is really all you need, and certainly gets the point across. I've been doing it this way for over 5 years and have never had a contractor or sub misinterpret my roof plan or elevation drawings.

Rendering is another story, though, of course. For that I usually just use Revit's OOTB standing seam render material and change the color as needed.
