Randomizing City House Creation

[Ascension]

I hate to plug myself but you might want to look at my Brownstone map. There are some sections there where I basically just ran a fat (21-pixel) square pencil to make some lines then went back with a 1-pixel eraser to carve out a tiny line...this layer was then given an inner bevel (chisel soft) to create roof-lines and then a 1-pixel stroke to hide the cut out lines. You can't really apply a thatch pattern overlay to the resulting shape so that's why the chisel soft bevel was used (it puts some lines in). If you'd like I could probably do up a quick tut for that, it's not the greatest but it saves a whole ton of time.

A tutorial would be awesome.
