exterior partial height tapered stone veneer

ok, I have been searching and playing around and cant fig this out. I have a generic exterior wall. I want to add a partial height tapered stone veneer to the exterior of the wall. I tried several methods, but want to make sure I do this correct the first time. Any recommendations or places to look for the info would be greatly appreciated. Would a wall sweep work? The tapered overlay would be 14' tall, 11" at the base and 3" at the top (roughly). Thank you in advance!

attached is a snippet of what im trying to create. I did an in-place-wall, but I dont like the functionality as it wont mitre the corner. I will add a stone finish when I'm done with the model.

I'd probably do it as a sweep too.  It's a valid approach.

ok, ill give it a shot again. I've been away for 2 weeks and am creating my custom profile the way I remembered doing it before. and when i load my 14'-0" high "stone veneer" profile it just shows a small square. Im sure I am just forgetting something stupid. Thank you and have a good day!

Create a family from Profile-Hosted family template, draw a shape of 14' tall, 11" at the base and 3" at the top, load it in your project, edit a Wall Sweep type and give it that profile, draw the wall sweep by picking walls.

Odd. If that happened to me, I'd first think that the Profile in the Project was not the correct one.  Did you modify profile and forget to reload?  

 

Ah! Maybe @ToanDN 's onto something.  The Sweep Type may be using the wrong profile.

Thank you Sir. Came in fresh today and made a wall sweep and it worked perfect. I was forgetting one little step. Have a good day!
