Wall Sweeps

A wall sweep is a horizontal or vertical projection from a wall, often decorative in nature. Examples of wall
sweeps include baseboards along the bottom of a wall or crown molding along the top of a wall. You can
add a wall sweep to a wall from a 3D or elevation view.
You can schedule wall sweeps. Integral wall sweeps, which are part of the wall type definition, can not be
scheduled independently. For more information on creating schedules, see
NOTE If you create wall sweeps at different heights and then later set them to the same height, the sweeps miter
at the joins.
