I have a straight wall (in plan) with a radiused top (I sketched a profile for the wall). I need to make a wall cap follow the radius at the top of the wall. I have attached a pdf. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks,
Matt

Matt, The only way I know of is to create an in-place wall family for this using a sweep. Currently, Revit will not use a sweep embedded in the wall style, nor an applied sweep to follow the shape of a wall that has had its profile edited to a non-straight shape.

I did this with an in place family. (See attached screen shot.) I then used the sweep to model the cap. I picked the path and used the top edge of the profiled wall. Then applied a profile to the sweep. It is not an integral part of the wall but it does model the condition correctly.

If I understood the question. :-)
