Arched wall parapets

[davidtetro]

I am working on a building that will have a cornice running along the top of the wall. This is easily handled by a wall sweep. However, at a point along the length of the wall, the wall will have an arch along the top of it. I tried adjusting the profile of the wall, but the parapet (wall sweep) does not conform to the curve of the wall.

How would you model a curved wall with a cornice. I have included a picture of what the client is looking for. Any help would be appreciated. What I have learned so far in Revit is that things are easier to pull off than they seem - so, I must be missing something obvious...

Thanks in advance - Dave.

I don't have access to RAC at the moment, but I'd start with an 'IN-PLACE" compontent Sweep at  the Top of the Arched wall....would allow a little more flexability if design changes occur later..

I was thinking that I could just create the curfed profile of the wall and draft the arched cornice on the elevation with filled regions and line work being that I am not really rendering or showing anything in 3D. However, the municipality may want a rendering for the review board (even though I am on the board) so I am thinking that actual modelling would be necessary.

is it a double curved wall . If it is , you can have a look at my post from 02.05.2014:

or better send a roof plane too....in order to understand what you want to obtain..

Thank you Sir! That is definately a starting point. However, I am not too certain as to how to create the roof edge with all that cornice work. Can you apply a profile to a roof edge? If so, then I think that is the solution. I would obviously need to toy around with it a bit, but wasn't sure if you could a profile or sweep as a mass object along the face of the wall...

I will need to keep looking for a solution.
