Crenalations. Seeking clues, help, advice.

I need some advice on adding crenelations to the tops of these arrow shaped bastions. I've been trying but the results never properly line up.
Comments
What I'm trying to do is add crenelations/battlements to the top of these arrow shaped towers.
I can get them looking okay at point A but at A2 they look wrong. I really want them to match the walls from the castles symbol set at point B. I exploded the symbol for it's crenelations C. No matter what I do I can't get them to the right angles to line up in the correct perspective along the top. The curved walls at points D are even more of a nightmare.
Getting them to match the walls from the Castles symbol set is the goal.
Unfortunately the Castles set doesn't have crenelation that would fit these walls out of the box. What I would recommend:
- Draw the shape of your walls in top down mode (not in isometric view). Perhaps you have them already?
- Add crenelations in this view as simple rectangles
- Use the "3d Projection" command to convert this into an isometric view.
- Use "Extrude" to make the projected rectangles into 3d blocks.
See the attached image for a simple example.
I will also remember to keep my images small in the future.
