Hanging tile details. How to go about it?

[barrie.sharp]

Have to add scalloped tiles and scalloped lead flashing. How would you guys do this?

Use a fish scale hatch pattern and in your wall definition use the split region tool to split the height of the finish and assign the fish scale material to that area.

That's what I thought. I don't have a fish scale hatch though. It's not OOTB. How about the lead flashing? Would you model that (Wall hosted)?

If it's any help I came across a recent tutorial on making hatch patterns for Revit using Hatchkit
http://blog.cadway.com.au/2010/05/re...hatch-kit.html

The Hatchkit site has a page of hatch pattern links:
http://www.hatchkit.com.au/HatLinks.php

From there this link has a fishscale pattern listed that you could make into a hatch pattern:

... or the half round might be better looking at it again.


If it was me, I would use an in-place model for the lead flashing.

might find a pattern to use HERE

The lead flashing occurs only at the window units, so perhaps add this as a mass in the window family itself, or as it's own wall-hosted family.

Thanks all. That's plenty to go on. Should be able to get this one out the door.
