Barrel Tile Roof

[Doug]

How are you doing the edge of a barrel tile roof at a rake? I have seen some ADT drawings where it appears that the tiles are actually 3d

Can this be done in Revit?

Use Glazed roof system with no Mullions and custom Panel families for the Tiles

So, you do not use any fill pattern or hatching for the roof?.
Every tile is a glaze custom panel?
This is interesting, more info please.

No fill pattern and no hatching. Just create your glazed roof system, making sure the distance between your grid lines is size of the tile and then replace all the panels using the one you modeled before as the tile you want. Not necessarilly glazed though.

However, pay attention to avoid over modelling. Sometimes just a hatch or fill pattern is enough.
