Standing Seam Roof

How do you create a standing seam roof in Revit LT?

I've always used a material with a bump map, but it doesnt look great.

I guess you have to model each seam?

Could you use the custom CurtainWall ?

If yes so you can make the curtainwall with custom profile and panel then use them in Curtain System.

Custom curtain wall works. Not as easy as using a roof, but not that cumbersome either.

I'll probably just use it if I'm rendering in another program, if bump maps dont look realistic (enough).

A little more work but a Roof by Footprint using Sloped Glazing, assign the empty panel to the panel type and assign a "seam" mullion to the interior curtain grid. Place on top of a second roof.

This is great! I never noticed the "sloped glazing".
