Captaincook:
I'll be checking the castle and asking you questions, if you don't mind. Thanks a lot for sharing it.
keet:
Do you think is possible to suggest a plugin to generate mansards, by imagining how it would work? I mean, from someone who never has written a line of code (me), but could help imagining how the computer should build it.
Maybe this is too childish. If that's the case, I apologize.
What do you think?

Now, I want to share this I've made:
Roof lego pieces for mansard roofs:
With four single pieces you can build extended mansard roofs. They include
- internal conner (valley)
- external corner (hip)
- mansard segment
- mansard segment with hole for a dormer
mansard segment
Limatesa, roof hip or external corner
Limahoya, roof valley or internal corner
Mansard segment with hole for a dormer
All of them come from the same piece:
So, always you use them with the same height, they will fit.
Example:
After the experience of making the gabled roof lego pieces, this wasn't so hard. Anyway, This set is not enough to make (so) complex roofs as the mansion at the beginning of this thread.
Also have into account, these mansard pieces are adjusted to render textures 0k.
The pieces contain "diferent material" parts for the top ornament and gablets.
After you build a mansard, add a new level and draw a room for the top of the mansard.
The little roof in the dormer of the example was made with the same pieces.
Here are the pieces:

Any questions, please tell me. Thanks for your attention and comments.
