Sure (though using displace _would_ be making it out of geometry) — though you'd need to double array it — that is follow your process, but the loft would only represent the length of one tile. Then, you'd need to copy and overlap the subsequent rows of tiles (unless a bump map would be good enough for the particular use). Heck, you could use skin.axp, for that matter — loft a squiggly section representing the length of the roof, "slice" it, position the slices and let the supersmooth faces appear at render time. Though, this'd probably be overkill unless you were going to animate "Harry, The Magic Tile-Roof"!<g> Dave
