Problematic parapet

Images attached

 

I'm trying to recreate this parapet wall from a SketchUp model in Revit.

 

I have made a profile family from a CAD section and used that to sweep along the slab edge of my roof by extrusion.

 

The path of the sweep is fine but i don't know how to ensure that the stone cladding coursing remains horizontal as with the curved walls below and does not bend.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks all

Sadly profile follow the path and you can't make it set it straight. However you can use texture map and that won't follow the path. See screenshot

thanks for your reply.

 

I gave you a subscribe on youtube.

 

How did you get the path of your sweep to change level?

I have another issue with a sweep in a different area.

 

I want the path to conform to the edge of the stair...

You can use Floor or Roof as your host. Whenever you change the floor slope, the railing will follow. Then hide the floor/roof host.
