tutorial four_raspberry fields shingles

For the powercopies assignment, I modeled the shingles used in Jason Payne's Raspberry Fields House (http://www.suckerpunchdaily.com/2010/01/18/raspberry-fields/).  The bend of the shingles is determined by the weather and warpage of the wood, whereas in my model the bend is driven by parameters.

It took six tries to get the design table to export correctly since there were glitches in my naming system.
  

  

 
  

And additional permutations from making changes to the spreadsheet:
