Hi, I'm trying to recreate an existing stepped boundary wall to match the attached photo. Can anyone give me some advice please on how I can achieve this to ensure the capping stone and brick plinth below follows the stepped top edge of the wall? I've created the wall with sweeps for the capping stone and brick plinth but when I edit the wall profile to create the top steps the sweeps does not follow the stepped top edge of the wall.
Instead of wall sweeps, create an in-place component (sweep).

The challenge I have with your proposed solution is that the wall is not straight, it curves with the road in front of the wall so to produce a in place sweep the path will need to curve in plan and also change direction in elevation (path will need to change direction in two difference axis), is this possible?
Instead of drawing sweep path, you can pick 3d edges of other geometry such as walls.

You can do it in parts. I can suggest creating a profile first for the sweeps - one for the wall and one for the capping (to allow different materials).
Create a sweep for the vertical curves and a separate component for the horizontal curves.
Thank you very much for the advice. I'm pretty new on Revit so not exactly sure what you mean by "create a sweep for the vertical curves and a separate component for the horizontal curves"? Do you mean create two separate sweep components for the wall curved path in plan and the steps in the wall height? Can you please elaborate or explain?
Yes, in the image I created an in-place component and used the sweep to create the profile for the wall that curves vertically. I copied the profile and created another sweep that curves horizontally in plan and joined the two together.
