A sweep will not cut out or replace the wall material behind it, unless you use a Void. Sweeps are generally used to ADD additional material to a wall,
such as a wall base, or a coping on top of a wall.
Please post the images so we can take a look at exactly what the problems are.

I did not attach images before, oops. Here is the revit model image and a few other views. I had building this wall as question last week and I made a unique wall type with brick veneer, 2in air space, and 8in cmu wall. The problem is the the cmu is flush with the conc columns, a intermediate, and a high concrete beam so rather than making a separate wall for the cmu and the brick I made a wall that I drew through the columns and beams and then used the join command at the columns and I think i did a reveal for the columns. one reason I did it this way is so any openings cut through walls (and there are a lot of doors windows, louvers) would be easier. Now looking at my 3d revit drawing I have a brick wall at interior space of lower building which needs to be deleted.
With the attached images shown and my description of the walls how would any of you revit guru's handle this?
Thanks,
Jeff
You can unlock adjacent "layers" of the wall's compound materials in the wall properties>edit structure>section view>modify.
This way, in the project, you can "grip" and extend just a single portion of the compound wall--such as CMU or brick, etc.
This may help in your situation, if you want to stay with only a "single" wall type with CMU/brick, instead of individual walls.
Another trick is when creating callouts / enlarged views of certain details, you can use Edit Cut Profile ( 2d only ) to get the "graphics" to read correctly
in the 2d details. So--modeling it "perfectly" is your choice--you can try to model everything as it will be built. Or, you can get it close, and then show
correct relationships in the 2d details. Again, a fine balance of these methods is what usually is appropriate--based on effort put forth vs benefit in getting the drawings to read correctly.
The built-in sweeps for the precast are probably a good idea--keeps them "permanently" associated with the wall type, in lieu of sweeps applied to the walls inside the project.
You should also investigate Stacked Walls--where you create various wall Types and then "combine" them into a Stacked Wall.

It would help if you could post a piece of the wall you have already built as a Revit file. It looks like it is doable in several ways. But it better continues with what you have already started.
It's your Template file ( .rte ) that loads when you create a new project.
Open it, maybe do a save-as, then Purge it, delete any unneeded content. Save. Then when creating a new project, specify the new template.
