Custom Vertical Sweeps that schedule the material - 2 part question

[Step1984]

I am working in a file that currently schedules all materials being applied to the model.  Currently, I am just painting the walls with materials I have set up and the schedule shows up with the material and calculates the SF of the materials.  

I want to add a vertical wall sweep on the corners of the wall where the tile meets the metal trim.  

Part 1 of question:

How can I make the vertical wall sweep to always go to the corner of the wall?

I currently have a wall sweep that I made, but it doesn't always want to rotate or apply correctly to the wall.  I made the sweep from a generic "profile.rfa" family template.  

Part 2 of question:

How can I take the sweep in Part 1 and make the material fit into the current material schedule?  

I tried to make the sweep and just paint the sweep, but it doesn't add any additional SF to the material schedule.  

Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure what your sweep profile looks like, but it sounds like it is L-Shaped, and the issue is related to how the profile is drawn in relation to the Ref. Planes in the family. Also, Wall sweeps can be assigned a Material that will be picked up in scheduling. It's a Type Parameter.   

Want to post a file for us to look at?  A picture would help too.

1. See the attached file for the Wall sweep.  It was created based on the Profile-Hosted.rfa and it will snap to each wall corner automatically.  You have to restart the command for each corner though.

2. A material Take-off schedule doesn't count Wall Sweeps so you need to select the sweeps and Create Parts.  You should select the walls you want to calculate the Paint and Create parts too.  When done, you can select the irrelevant Parts (interior, air, insulation, core, etc) and Exclude Parts from the Parts menu.  Do it until you are left with only the Parts you want to count.

Create a Material Take-off schedule and choose Parts then you pretty much have what you need.

And no, Create Parts from Walls and Wall Sweeps doesn't destroy the original elements.  They are still there and show when you set the Views to Show Original.
