I'm modifying profiles for some wall sweeps, and I notice that for some of the sweeps, the grips (the little, filled-in circle you see when you're lengthening or shortening your sweep in elevation view) is about 1"-2" below the actual sweep. This means that when I tell the sweep (in the properties "Offset From Level" area) that I want it to be 3' from ground level, it moves the sweep so that the grip is at 3'. Is there any way to tell Revit at what point on the sweep I want to be the basepoint? I'd like it to be at the top of each profile, so that if I put in 5' for the "Offset From Level" value, the top of the sweep will be 5' from the floor level in elevation. Thanks in advance.

I believe the grip point is the insertion point for the profile. This is set in the profile family.

I figured it had to do with the creation of the initial profile. So how do you set this point when you're creating your profile? Thanks

The answer is self evident. Starty a new profile family using the hosted template.

Thanks for the info. I found the template file you mentioned and put my trim profile into it. I find is that even though I've placed the top of the profile at the "Insertion Point" (see attachment "Profiles" , when I got to insert the profile into a wall sweep and insert it into an elevation, it chooses the bottom of the profile as the insertion point instead (see "Profiles1". What am I doing wrong?

I haven't had an opportunity to look at this. It may be that what you have observed is how Revit does it.

Aneglia, the grip for your sweep is ALWAYS going to be at the intersction of the X and Y ref planes in the profile family.

Thanks for the response. If the intersection of the X and Y planes is always the grip, or insertion point, then why doesn't my profile work this way (see my attachments in my previous reply). I've placed the top of my wall sweep profile right at the intersection, but as you can see from accompanying elevation drawing, the grip is show to be at the bottom of the profile instead of the top. Boggles my mind.
