I have a sloped wall in elevation, and i'm trying to add a sloped coping .  i have the profile but when i add it to the sloped wall it only goes horizontal. how do i slope it?  ive tried to add it to the wall profile itself as well as using the Wall/Wall Sweep command, and neither will work

Thanks!!

We don't have the image but use the "Solid Sweep", go to a 3D View then use the "Pick Path" and select one face on the top of that sloped wall, then apply the profile you want....

Typ is exactly correct, except for you will not want to select a face but a 3d edge, and the main thing i wanted to mention here is that if you create a sweep using a 3d edge there is no way to edit without using 3d edges.

But typ idea is your ideal way to go.

Hi,

I have a similar question, but for the interiors.

I created a room with a sloped ceiling and edited the wall with sweep for cornice. However, after attaching the walls to the ceiling, the sweep stayed at 8 ft, which does not make sense since the shortes wall is still higher than that. The sweep is set to be -3" from the top of the wall. Do you know how to make the cornice sweep follow the sloped wall as well as the different height walls?

I am kind of a newbie and need a clear explanation LOL

Same process, Model in-place > Sweep > pick 3D Edges
