How to have sweeps return at wall ends

[leothebuilder]

How can I have sweeps return at the end of a wall.
For example at the the parapet of a wall.
Is it also possible to have a sweep at both sides of a wall ?
Also, is it possible to change the lines of 8x16 cmu walls to 8x8 ?

Thx

As far as i know its not possible to use the host sweep tool on the end of a wall. The only way to do this is to have a in place family.
You can have a sweep on both sides. Once you've created te sweep on the one side, click on the 'start next' button and create another sweep on the other side.

Select the sweep and use the 'modify returns' tool to put a 90 degree angle on the end of the sweep. now you can drag the blue dot along the end of the wall. Do this for both ends of both sweeps and Join them together for a seamless piece.

I don't think this works for sweeps that are part of the wall definition.

Simply create a model fill pattern using an 8" x 8" crosshatch.
