I have over 150 foam extrusion profiles that I have setup in Revit an I am
trying to create a Wall Sweep family for each one so when a user loads the
library they can just add the wall sweep using this profile. It seems that
users must go then and create a new type for the wall sweep and select the
loaded profile. I create a type in the family but it doesn't load.

Is there an easier way to do this so once loaded the sweep is usable.

Set them up in a project and then you can use transfer project standards to laod them.

Like in ADT - profiles are just tools to make other objects.

I get what you are saying but as a company that offers content we need to isolate each item for download from a link.

The only solution I see is creating a wall in a file and adding the Host Sweep > Wall Sweep > add the profile type I created. Save the file. I can now import this specific Wall sweep type and work with it. Now I have the correct type with the correct profile and parameters set.

I wish that Wall Sweeps were loadable families.

thanks for the response.
