Is it possible to put a wall sweep on an angle to match a roof pitch?

Absolutely... use the create sweeps method (Modelling>Create>Sweepand pick your path (eg roof pitch, ref plane, whatever) rather than Modelling>Host Sweep>Wall Sweep...

I can't find "sweep" under "create". Are you saying just create a generic model and just add it to the wall? That's a good way of doing it, but takes too much time to do that around an entire house. I wanted to be able to add the wall sweep just like I would a horizontal or vetical wall sweep.

You can also use the roof edge, facia, or floor edge sweep.

To match the roof pitch you can use the facia sweep tool and set the offset vertical and horizontal parameters in the sweep properties.

Brad,
I have not been able to set a floor edge sweep on the sloped edge of a floor with the Host Sweep tool, am I missing something?

Mike,
I'm in the middle of a deadline and an upgrade. I'll try to get back to you soon.
