"Can't create sweep" error

[tarch]

I have this glazed housefront that needs some editing, but it seems to contain some offending sweep which prevents me to get into edit mode. Is there anything else that could be done short of re-doing the whole thing (2hrs of work min).
Thanks, Alek

Double check to see if you have other objects joined to it. Sometimes if you made a sweep and it is joined to another object Revit won't let you do anything unless you unjoin from the sweep. Just use the unjoin tool and select the sweep. It should unjoin anything joined to it and then try to edit it again.

Just a guess. This might not even be what your looking for.

If you click expand does it give you the id of the offending element, if you then cancel pick the sweep and try to modify it or delete it with ctrl x and then paste align it once you've fixed your wall

Unfortunately, the sweep is a part of an in place family and nothing seems to work exept delete. And yes Yman, bottom rail sweep was joined with vertical mullions during family creation but I guess you can unjoin only while in edit mode and that's where my problem is.
Thanks guys, it's great how quickly one gets reponses unlike some other forums.
