Ive drawn this new profile (nothing more than drawn out), and saved it to my profiles folder, but when i load it into my drawing to make a sweep along the top of a wall to create a coping there is nothing there in the profile plane. what else is needed to make this work. I dont need it to change shape or size, just this one instance. here is the profile michael

Ive also made the settings for type a "wall sweep" now it shows in the project but doesnt let me finish the sweep. says it cannot create sweep. Arrrgggg. if I change to a generic profile for the path its fine, but when I choose my profile for the sweep the box comes up and says it cannot create sweep. delete elements?.

When U created the profile, did you assign it to the correct category? Within the family editor - settings / category and parameters - pick the correct usage. Then in the project, you have to create the sweep type and assign this profile to it.

Go to VG and check if you have the "mass" turned off, if so turn on....

OK I got that thanks. how do I apply a material to it? How come its glass or see through in the model? Are these all instance parameters before you make the mass? am i doing it right? just using the create mass tool?

don't use the mass tool to create object, only forms, then you have the "Wall, Roof, slab and curtain system by face", the Mass tool it's only an auxilar tool, if you want you can use the "Create-in-place" with the right category to create forms also....

Well. None of what you wrote really made any sense to me. if I cant use the mass tool, what then do I do to create a top of wall coping like I just did? Form? what do you mean? wall roof slab....I know all these tools but what you wrote wasn't complete to get across what you are saying. can you please explan a little more? thanks Michael

Use the Create-in-place, NOT MASS, you can create all forms you want with the create in place... (sweep, extrusion, blend....)
