Revit big sweep problem

[jhdrvn65]

Hello, I wanted to make something like a gutter or wiping around a roof with a component, but I'm getting an error like this, I can't solve it, I would appreciate your help.

Might be an issue with the Profile itself.   Does it work on just one edge?  

Post the Project here and we'll tell you exactly what's going  on in your case.  

BTW: a gutter on high end of a butterfly?  What for?   Water flows up not down.

Actually, I wanted to make something like a hat on the roof with the component tool, but it doesn't work, the sweep tool doesn't create it.You can see it is working around the window so sweeple it has occurred

The reason it works on the window because it is coplanar and your roof is not.

Why don't you use Roof / Fascia tool?  A railing hosted by the roof also works.

You're right, but shouldn't this component work on the floor as well? I don't understand why the sweep isn't going smoothly; it seems like this should be easily resolved with a simple programming operation.

It's going to take some craftiness. Probably have to use several approaches to get what you want - whatever that is. I have no idea what your design intent is. Keep in mind that this will be a challenge in the field as well.  Might not even be feasible.  You need to figure that out.  Plan the construction. If it's supposed to "sweep" the perimeter of the roof, you need to figure out how to make those corner returns contiguous.  If you can't get there in Revit, then maybe it can't be done in real life.

Your last name isn't by chance "Escher"; is it?  😉

Keep in main a sweep profile is always perpendicular to the sweeping path so even if it works, you will end up with a roof edge that tilted, not plumb.  That is why I suggested using fascia or railing.  While fascia sounds like the right tool, I do think railing tool will give you a better result.

Actually, my goal was to hide the roof. Then, the aim was to solve the roof with hidden gutter systems. It will be more decorative with moldings. I will probably make it from sketchup and insert it as a family. Otherwise, the lines in Revit are intertwined and do not form. Annnddd 

I didn't really understand the joke about my last name :D

Yes, maybe the railing will solve it, but I wanted to solve it with components, no problem, I will model it in sketchup and post it, maybe one day there will be a solution for this, Autodesk is the best company in the world.

For example, I did this in sketchup. My question is, how can I do this in Revit? Frankly, it seems a bit difficult.

Açıkçası biraz zor görünüyor.
