profile wall coping

[ws]

A couple of small modelling queries if anyone can help, please.

In the attached screenshot the wall with the sloped top - achieved by editing the profile rather than tilting the whole wall (the stones in the wall pattern have to remain horizontal of course) - it doesn't seem possible to make any sort of sweep to follow the slope along the top of the wall - presumably because I have edited the profile?

While I can think of several ways of making a coping for the wall I wondered is it a general limitation that you cannot have a sweep on top of edited wall profiles?


And since the image happens to also show this... the sloped area under the solid stair (just a Revit supplied wooden stair originally) - I don't suppose there is a combination of parameter options to force the stair to be solidly underfilled rather than following the slope?

That's a problem indeed. One workaround would be to create a floor slab that follows a slope.

thanks - at least I can give up trying to make the sweep work with the wall profile ;)

After watching a dgcad.com clip on diagonal wall reveal sweeps, I used the same sort of technique but with a solid sweep up a path on the edge of the wall top.

I did think you could align a slab with a sloped reference plane, but slabs don't seem to do that - or maybe make a roof would be the simplest in future?

...and I've discovered by trial and error that increasing the 'stringer carriage height' until it errors will fill out the back of the steps.

It's good this Revit thing 8)
