Hi All,

I have been working out what I need for me to cover my roof in pixels.

After all the measuring, I have ben able to scale a picture of my roof. to enable me to use the Custom Model to place the pixels.

I have now run into a hic cup, due to the design of my roof, it is not all flat, but as a section triangle and a valley.

The issue is how to show the pixels, on the triangle as one side will reflect the other on the section.

I have attached the xlights model that I started with, and a couple of the pictures to give an idea of the roof I am covering

My thought process was to start at the bottom left, then number each pixel, the make sub models.

The left side started to look good, but when I started numbering around the corner, the roof line was being put out of proportion.

Open to any suggestions.

Thanks Deblen.IMG_3930.JPG IMG_3931.JPG

how about each part of the roof has its own model and then add them to a group
