This happens to my curbs when a sweep a curb profile along a site sized path. Anyone seen this?

I'm not sure exactly what that is showing. Some weird circles or something...

It's a curb at the end of a parking row by the driveway into the site. The radius is the turn into the site. If you follow the curb along the parking row, you'll see the line of a fillet in the profile on the side that the cars park. Once that gets near the curve in the path, it goes nuts. The weird thing is that it shows correctly in every view but in plan.

I'm also wonder how everyone else does curbs.
They have to be non planar. IE slope with the site. My experience with sweeps is that they don't like being non planar; or I mean following a 3d path that is maybe level along one length, but climbs as it curves in an other place.

Going to try this. We have a flat site for now, early in the project.

the last job we did I created a 2" wall, added a sweep I created for a curbtop radius and even added a gutter sweep, I had to adjust the wall height to make the right height, named it concrete curb w/gutter assigned concrete as the material. It all scheduled in the material take off and schedule, I just had to define in in the schedule. It fillets great with radius'.

We generally make up the Road as Sloping Floors & then use an Inplace Family Sweep Profile to match the Kerb, ,Select Path option & then we can select anything
