Say I have an exterior brick wall (like an exterior porch) where I have brick on both sides of the stud layer. I also have a brick rowlock profile set as a sweep in the wall type. Now I can make the brick layer wrap around at the ends of the wall, but is there a way to make the sweep wrap so that the end of the wall looks correct? If not, how should I go about doing this?

Did you mitre the corner?
Sorry I didnt read carefully enough.
If you make the sweep as a wall sweep (instead of in the wall type) you can return the sweep from both sides to meet then use the join geometry tool.
EDIT:
The same method works when in a basic wall type, select the sweep, change the return to a 90 degree reselect and drag the return to meet.

It's a stacked wall that will not enable a sweep edit.

ah yes I forgot you could change sweep returns in wall types.

But not on stacked walls eh? Yet another reason why I don't like stacked walls.

Have you tried tabbing to the subwall that contains the sweep? It works for me.

You may think of the stacked wall as a container. You need to select the appropriate subwall to access specific functionality to that subwall.

Consider this case: You have two regular walls (with wall sweeps in their type) that are grouped. Now if you select the group, would you expect to be able to start editing wall sweep returns?

Makes sense to me, It ocurred to me also, but I couldn't make it happen right away and didn't take the effort to see it through. My apologies.
