I am trying to add a wall sweep with a 2D detail component in revit structure 2009. my sweep is a 2x4 stud with diagonal lines.  i have the 2d component loaded into my profile, and i am able to add the profile sweep to the wall, but the 2d detail component doesnt show up.  i even tried adding the profile wall sweep from this thread, but have gotten the same results: http://www.revitcity.com/forums.php?action=viewthread&thread_id=10321.

My detail setting is set to fine, my scale is set to 3/4", and i am using 'hidden lines.'  my VG settings have detail items on.

any advice?

Did you check (in the family of your profile) in the properties of your 2D component if the "Visibility" is ON??? did you try to change the scale of that section view???

Any solution to this? Still a problem in 2015...detail component in profile family is not visible when profile is used in a sweep. Visibility settings don't appear to affect it in any way. Why isn't this working? Thanks.

Sweeps are profiles only!   One closed loop - fro your HELP:

To sketch a profile

1. Click Modify | Sweep tabSweep panel, verify <By Sketch> is displayed, and then click (Edit Profile).
2. If the Go To View dialog displays, select the view where you want to sketch the profile, and click OK.

   For example, if you sketched the path in a plan view, you would choose an elevation view to sketch the profile. The profile sketch can be a single-closed loop or multiple closed loops that do not intersect. Sketch the profile near the intersection of the profile plane and the path.

3. Sketch the profile. Profiles must be closed loops.

But why allow inclusion of detail components in the family template if they can't be made visible? Granted, it's helpful to have the detail as a background but a little bit silly that it doesn't go further than that. Mullion profiles are pretty much the same but afford this functionality. I think that's the point. Not having them in the former is seemingly an oversight am I wrong? If I'm not it sounds like it should be brought to Autodesk's attention (for whatever that's worth). Cheers.
