I Added a wall sweep to wall of an existing building...sweep looks great, however it is interruped where existing window openings are demo'd and infilled (see attachec image).  Any idea how to work around this?  I can't remove the infills as they are required to illustrate the scope of work...I have a feeling this issue has to do with the sweep's position from the base of the wall...

Using Revit Architecture 2011, Windows 7, 64bit

Any help will be much appreciated.  Thanks!

As a quick fix, I just lowered the head height of the existing windows to be removed and infilled...this seems to have solved the visual problem, however now I have introduced an inaccuracy into the model.  If anyone knows the correct way to resolve this issue, please let me know.

Wall sweeps decide to break when they encounter an opening in the wall, but only at the point of there insertion.  If you select the wall sweep in a view, you should see a blue dot at the ends.  This is the plane which is making that calculation.  You may be able to move the origin of the profile so that this plane is located at the top of the profile and not interrupted by the windows. (I can't tell where your windows are in the photo; if they are higher, than this may not be a solution for you).

OR....you may be able to simply fo into the Edit Type and check the "cuts by insert" box.  That worked when i had it going over windows that were demolished.....
