Wall sweeps

I have tried 2 methods of generating a parapet cap:
1 - Creating a wall style with the sweep.
2 - Added a host sweep.

The problem is that using either method or a combination of both methods
doesn't always work. I still end up with some caps that don't miter
correctly even after editing. Sometimes, different intersections will miter
and others won't. Does anyone have any ideas? A newbie, I am probably
doing something wrong.

Thanks!

I have the same problem. I would also like to know how to edit a wall
profile, say for a stepped parapet wall and get a sweep around and over it
nicely mitered. I don't think it can be done in Revit yet my client wants
it. What do I do?

For some reason it won't post. Probably too big but I stripped a bunch of
stuff out of it.

Use the Create-in-place tool on theModeling Design tab to sweep a profile along your wall. Also, to get Hosted sweeps to connect use the Join Geometry tool on the toolbars above the optio bar.

I have added a detailed trim sweep to a wall type and sometimes they do not blend together at corners. Any ideas of what I may be doing wrong?
