Grasshopper Roof Shingles / Dragon Scales / Diamond shaped shingles

Hi,

I am trying to model roof shingles for a curved/wavy surface. I found a video on youtube that gave me the script for rectangular shingles but was wondering how or where I can find a script to make them look like dragon scales/diamond shaped. Please find the reference video below and some images of what I am trying to do. Thank you.

There are a few of these on the forum that are similar, this one comes to mind.

Also just a small thing to note. Your shingles should flow down from the highest points in the roof. Right now your roof will not shed water because some of the shingles are reversed. Interesting project though. :slightly_smiling_face: It would be fun to see what you come up with :grinning:
