I'd like to share a support request:

Request:
How can I add a row of roof tiles on the ridges or eaves?

Response:
To add tiles on the eaves, you should use the "3D Obj distribute" feature
  1. From the object menu, choose "3D Obj Path";
  2. Click to place the first point and click for each subsequent point;
  3. Click the "Finish" button on the multifunction bar.


To automatically insert the "3D Obj Path" on the roof, follow these steps:

  1. From the object menu, choose "3D Obj Path";
  2. Click the "Roof" magic wand   on the multifunction bar;
  3. Bring the mouse cursor to the eaves and click to insert the object.


To adjust the elevation of the "3D Obj Path," use the "Offset" in the "3D Element" section of the property toolbox.
