Adding wall sweeps makes wall dimensions uneditbale

I recently went through the revit model for the project I'm working on, and put in wall sweeps for wall bases at the bottom of all interior walls, so the bases will show up in interior elevations. However, since putting these in, I no longer seem to be able to use dimensions to adjust the positions of walls, doors, etc. Deleting the wall sweeps fixes this. Why are the wall sweeps making these dimensions uneditable, and is there some way I can fix this, and have wall bases in my project while maintaining the ability to edit dimensions?

The picture below shows exactly what I'm talking about. When the wall bases (shown here in red) are in the model, I can't edit this dimension, but if I delete them, I can edit the dimension again.

No issue here.  Did you add the wall sweep to the wall type or to manually place them?

I manually placed them. I would have added them to the type, but when I tried doing that the sweeps did not have a subcategory. I'd like to be able to hide the sweeps in certain views, and control their lineweight independently of other elements, which doesn't seem to be possible in revit when the sweeps are part of the wall type.

No issue either way.  Can you share the file.

I am not able to replicated your issue.

Only way I am able to get your issue is if I create an assembly from that wall.

Is there a way to provide a small sample of your plan?

So my revit project file is far too large to share, and copying and pasting the walls with sweeps into a new project does not reproduce the issue. Any ideas on how I can potentially share it otherwise?

Check and see if there is a constraint. Click on this icon to see if there are hidden dimension that will not show in plan.
