I want to make a real roof on revit using a 3d model of a tile, but i can´t shape the tiles to roof geometry. Is there a way to do it? Thanks

Try making a ref. plane attach to the roof slope at that angle to work from. Then try to array the roof tile along that plane.

How are you making your tile? You could make a roof based generic model family, then this will automatically snap to your roof. Modeling every tile is something you may want to think twice about though. Its kind of like saying you want to place every brick on a masonrly wall. There are rendering techniques and drafting techiniques you can use to make your drawings read well without the modeling overhead of each tile.
