Is there a way to place a wall sweep onto the top of a wall that has an edited profile, as shown in the image attached?

I am looking for some ideas.

Many Thanks,
Mike Cox

Component model in-place sweep will work.

Does the wall itself have to be modelled in place? There is no 'Sweep' category when creating a new In Place Family.

...but there is a wall category (or any other), and sweep comes right after that. I thought it was clear enough, sorry.

In most category dialogues I agree with you, sweeps comes just under (inside) Walls. But not in the one I get when creating a new In-place Family ... am I going about this all wrong?

Component (pull down) -> Model In-Place -> wall category (or other), click ‘ok’ -> name it, click ‘ok’ -> pick sweep tool (ribbon). ;)

The sweep tool is just... a sweep lol
Meaning it's the modelling tool call sweep ad not a roof sweet that we think would be a cornice for example. You can assign the Wall Sweep Sub-Category but it wont show in a Wall Sweep schedule like the Wall Sweep tool.
Do you need it to schedule?

I used the model in-place sweep method.
Works good. Thanks for the reminder.

My problem (basically the same) is solved with a Void Sweep - thanks for the help!
