    Default arch top door

    I created a square panel door that has a profile around the edge of the panel (CIW 270-01-A). With the help of a friend, I also have created the same door with an arched top (CIW 270-01-B). The square top works great, the problem is on the arch top door; Revit will not create the sweep profile. I don't know if the issue is that Revit will not create a solid sweep along an arch or if it's becuase there is a formula associated with the length of the side panels.

    The radius of the arch never changes; the spring line moves up or down depending on the width of the door, so we had to create the formula to handle that.

    Is there a different way I have to make the sweep since it's on an arch?

    I've recreated the sweep in both doors using sketch 2D path rather than pick path. Then I locked it. Even the door without the arched top wasn't working properly when loaded into a project, because the sweep wasn't locked to anything. Flexing the door would cause it to stay away from the door panel.

    See attached the corrected files.

    Thanks Andre; I hadn't noticed that about the non-arched door. I have 3 versions of it with 1, 2 & 3 panels. The 3 panel works fine in my project; I'll have to go back & see what I did differently in that one.
