Has anyone found a way to add a parapet cap onto a wall that has had the profile editted. The top of the wall is still horizontal and you cannot add a parapet cap on any angle. I mean except to creat the cap at the angle the wall is or doing an in place model. Sweeps, reveals, and editted profiles would be sweet with more angle control and input options.

Yes, In-place sweeps for now.....

Agreed--more control over Hosted Sweep angles would be nice.

Cheers......

I use the "roof by extrusion" to create a parapet cap in a wall, I make the roof extrusion 8" or 9" to match the width of the wall and lock the extrusion line to the top of the wall.

I do an in-place family with a loaded profile, and then just pick the top edges of the wall. This allows the parapet cap to both go up and down slopes AND turn corners. :)

The only problem is the current bug where sweeps with picked paths do not display the surface pattern of the selected material.
