Hello,
I am wondering if a wall sweep profile can be set up to adapt to varying wall thicknesses. I have a condition on my parapet where the finish layer outside the stud varies in thickness due to fire rating requirements. However, inside the stud, it is a fixed finish assembly. So there are a few jogs where my parapet is an extra 5/8" thick:
I could cheat the stud wall 5/8" proud and have a discontinuous envelope type up the height of my building, with the thinner finish assembly only applying onto the nonrated parapet wall. But then my drawings will show the line where the two walls join horizontally, at BO roof. So this isn't preferrable.
Wondering if anybody has suggestions on how to achieve this.
Are you creating the whole parapet wall with a sweep or are you using a sweep to create the cap of a parapet wall?
Can post an illustration of what you are describing?
I'm not visualizing what you are describing. Sounds like you are not making the cap of a uniform and consistent depth along the parapet. Instead, you want the depth varied based on the thickness of the parapet wall underneath it. Are you saying that the parapet wall faces are not flush and contiguous with one another?
Boy, I'd love to see an illustration. It sure would help.
The walls with thickness 1 1/2 consist of one layer sheathing, plus stucco. The selected wall consists of two layers sheathing plus stucco. That is required by code. The white layer in between is just the stud layer.
The conditions alternate around the perimeter of the roof. I am looking for a solution to model a parapet cap on this variable width wall.

You can Mitter and Clean up Profiles (Sweeps) built into the wall structure will if you "Disallow Wall Join then use Join Geometry" instead

Okay, I see from your other thread what you are trying to do now. You want Revit to automatically make a compound-angled miter between two different width caps meeting at a corner. Wish Revit was that smart.
In-Place Modeling will get you there.
