Wall Sweep Wrap

[antman]

I have my resilient base defined in my wall type as a sweep. For 'wing' walls, is there any way to have the sweep wrap the end, or do I need to manually place a wall sweep there? Is it even possible to place a sweep at a wall end?

place the sweep on each side of the wall-
then select one of the sweeps- then select
change sweep returns- then click the END
of one of the sweeps- you will get a 90
degree return that you can grip to the
midpoint on the end of the wall.. then
do the other side and join geometry..
or if you just want one sweep then just
drag the one to the other side of the wall
across the end..

Thank you Logan. That worked perfectly. A lot more posts like this and that red will go away.

Does this method still work? I'm using 2011. I have the same situation where I want to wrap the resilient base around a wing wall. I can't seem to be able to select just the sweep in any view I've tried. Is it because I'm using a stacked wall?

Yes it still works. With opening or ends and also with builtin wall or apply to the wall sweeps.

I create a compound wall assembly with the resilient base on both sides. I encountered same situation as bradnonw's image shows. Since I am using Revit 2011, I tried to use "Modify Returns" command. This command works fine for "-90 degree", which make the base wrap away from the wall. But it seems that it does not work for "90 degree" that is supposed to make the base wrap toward the wall end. Any suggestions?
