I have housekeeping curb along walls and want to cope/miter on 45 degree angle back to wall at door openings. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Modify Returns tool?

Yes, it returns to wall at 90 degrees, it miters the 90 degree return but I want it to return to wall at 45 degrees

Sorry, missed that 45 deg.
How many do you have? In-place sweep works, but it's not the best solution if you have a lot of sweeping. Railing tool works, kinda.
Or, create a void family and cut the end of the wall sweep manually.

Have you experimented with the options for Modify Returns (Wall Sweep)? You can return the sweep at the opening and use a 45 degree angle. It is tricky to get it to stop at the opening correctly. You have to move the endpoint of the sweep over so that the return stops at the desired location, which is a factor of the thickness (size) of the sweep profile.

Why is it always so difficult to notice this damn Options Bar? I wish I could make it flashing red. Cheers :beer:, Steve!

I can but the return then extends into the door opening

the 45 degree option works but then I have to go into 3D view and drag back to fit opening, and I don't really need the top to miter but I know thats asking alot.
