    Default Wall sweep not sweeping

    I have a sweep that won't turn a corner. If I copy-paste the two walls into an empty project, the sweeps DO turn the corner. I tried changing the wall joins to no avail. Any suggestions are appreciated. The attached project is the copy-paste that actually worked.

    It would be more useful to post the file that is not working, but try this; Select the sweep, then select the radio button "Add or Remove sweeps ", now select the short wall.

    Thanks Beegee.

    I tried your suggestion before I posted the problem. When I did the "Add or Remove Walls", Revit put the sweep on the inside face of the wall. I didn't know how to switch it around to the exterior. What I did end up doing was selecting the sweep and dragging the grip until the sweeps mitered. I just don't know why this happened.

    Grab the sweep and pull the grip to extend the sweep to meet the second sweep. They should miter when the grips are aligned.

    Hey Aaron,
    I guess you aren't getting much sleep lately
    Your suggestion was my previous reply! I hope you are enjoying your new addition.

    Could you post the project with the non-cooperating sweeps?

    Man I had the exact same problem, stupid sweeps going on the inside of walls when I hit the Add/Remove button, and then I wouldn't be able to get rid of them by using the Add/Remove button. I don't think I ever found a solution.

    I get this all the time, the workaround is to go to a straight on elevation of the wall segment, pick the side of the wall sweep, then add it to your wall.
