the cricket is coplanar, see attached image. The family has three different types 1/4",1/2"and 3/8" if you pick the wrong type then your cricket slope doesnt match the roof slope..... anyways thats not the issue. Regardless of the roof - if you run a profile sweep along the cricket edge not the roof forget the roof i just used it to host the family, its doesn't work.

you used the 1/4" type in the family on a 1/2" roof slope btw....thats why your cricket doesnt match your roof slope.

It looks like you can create the sweep as long as the roof isnt sloped. The second you add a roof slope to the roof it kills the sweep. So what do you think is the solution?

Fix the roof? If the roof has to be sloped and if you slope it it kills the sweep how do you fix that?

Zoom closely on top of your cricket and the edge of your roof. They are not aligned and so they are not coplanar.

Yes if you zoom way in it looks like they are slightly off, I will correct this and see if that is the solution, thanks for pointing that out.

We looked into the visual aspect of the coplanar issue and the reason they do not look perfectly coplanar is because even if they are truly coplanar the computer resolution as you zoom extremely far in starts to show the object "hoping" up and down. You can set any family to a reference plane on a roof based family or even set it off the default actual levels and if you zoom in far enough all of them do that. So even after locking reference planes to surfaces which verify they are coplanar they still hop based off resolution. At this point I dont think we have found a solution to what is causing those 2 edges to kill a profile sweep.
Besides if the coplanar argument were true or the solution, then I wouldnt be able to run sweeps off the other edges of the roof cricket family (which i can, see previous attached images. Those edges when you zoom in also look like they are not perfectly coplanar due to resolution. Its also why lines look jagged when diagonal not perfectly smooth).
Unless anyone else has an idea of why this is occuring I think we have beaten this to death and ill assume its an internal error. I thank you for your persistent effort to help but i dont think were gonna get it.
Just to emphasize the point or kill the coplanar argument I have attached an image as an example of resolution error despite something trully coplanar

another example of that same family as you can see the reference plane is locked so it has to be coplanar. As you can see the resolution is that issue not the actual problem pertaining to this problem.
