thank you. never stop sharing. you awesome!!!

[@8020BIM]

Thanks again for the kind words, glad you are finding the information helpful

[@eyadthebest]

thanks man, I think one can do it in two more ways
1-wall sweep
2-Railing

[@gorkemkinik4559]

Excellent tutorial, can you please make a future video about how to make schedule table for the spot coordinate (Easting & Northing) values for the RCC structure foundations of the footings and columns (edge to edge). Thanks

[@8020BIM]

I will put it on the list for sure 👌

Thank you

As ever you are most welcome. 👍

[@bpersad6864]

I'm curious about how you did the gutter system.

[@bpersad6864]

It literally came up as the next video. Ahhahahah. Great content

Could you make video in how we can model insulated sandwich puf panel with both side low rib metal sheet and another with 10thk cement board 100thk panel in revit

[@Vanderloo5]

Excellent tutorial but, for some reason, every time I select the inside edges of my parapet walls and click the finish check box, I get unable to create sweep. I only have 3 parapet walls so wondering if it's because i don't have a closed loop on my edge selection. The error message is unintelligible. If that's the case, How do I create the sweep on 3 walls?

[@Vanderloo5]

I started from scratch and re-did the profile and everything works fine now. Not sure what the issue was before. But now I'm Happy! Great tutorial!

Great!!!

Thanks Larry, hope you found it useful!

Hi! I'm using Revit LT and it doesn't have the Model in Place option on the Component tool... So I did the entire profile, but could not manage to place it into my project. Do you have any idea how I could still make the parapet in LT?

[@8020BIM]

Hey Natalia, thanks for reaching out. LT can be a bit of a nuisance to be honest with you, rarely does it have everything needed for some important jobs.
Not to worry - I would recommend watching the video I have linked below which details how to apply the parapet capping profile to the wall construction assembly which should be able to get the same result for you as the model-in-place method. It's a long video so make sure to reference the time stamps in the description (although the full thing might be informative regardless)

I hope this gets you over the line. Big thank you for the support over on BuyMeACoffee also, it's appreciated.
