Siding Pattern - Half rounds

[BigPicture045]

I am trying to make this pattern for siding:

Is this possible?

Do you want to Model it or just represent it with a Material Surface Pattern (e.g. Hatch Pattern)?  If you want to model it, it would be easy enough to do with In-Place Modeling tools.

You know, you could use a Wall Type for each of those overlapping layers too.   Edit Profile of each overlapping Wall to make the curvy design.  Something like this:

That's how it would be done in the field if it wasn't prefabricated.

How can this be represented with a hatch pattern?

We talked about this in on your other thread. 

I'm absolutely sure you can find this hatch pattern (PAT) on-line by Googling.  Beyond that, other methods were provided to you on your other thread, such as PyRevit, PattyCake, etc.

You can find a fishscale pattern, or use pyRevit to draw one. Keep in mind the there will not be true arcs, but small segment lines.

If you want to model them, use a curtain wall with custom panels, each present a tile. Do NOT edit profile or attach the curtain wall to fit under the roof.  Instead, use a solid form mass to cut the curtain panels to fit under the roof.

Too much work IMO.  But hey...to each their own devices. 

...or the OP could In-Place Model the whole decorative facade with solid and void extrusions essentially modeling a prefab to install over the exterior Wall.  That would be MY #2.

Pyrevit worked okay. I hadn't used it to make patterns yet. I appreciate that. 

Instructional video I used for to create pattern with pyrevit:
