Hi @JKspace424

A quick tip is to model the roof as a mass and apply the Spanish tile component to it and apply the code (.pat file share by @aRcHiTeCt.JM_

Here's a video on modeling a Spanish Roof Tile 

Hope that helps!

.... you just need to convert your .pat file to a model by adding the following code infront of it,

.... see the revit.pat file for the explanation.

 The name may contain any ASCII characters except for comma. They are shown in the list of
 imported patterns. The comma and comment are optional. They are ignored by Revit. The header
 may be followed by one of the following type directives:

 ;%TYPE=DRAFTING or
 ;%TYPE=MODEL

 If neither directive is present, Revit assumes that it is a drafting pattern.

... and then

Manage - Additional Settings - Fill Patterns
Click Draftiong or Model depending on the type
Click New
Click Custom
Click Import and browse to Scott's .pat file
Now it's available to use anywhere

..... here are some .pat files, there are many spanish tiles to chose from, some are in the acad.pat files and have allready had the %TYPE=Model added to them.
