and when I finished door swings in my family, it still looks so bad in my family when I inserted into my family.

That door is wrong, create a parameter to control that "width" BUT when you are creating those model lines you must lock them (whole padlocks), delete them and do it again, about the sweep, create that in a 3D view and use the "Pick Path" tool and select both lines and the arc then drag those lines to the bottom of that door.

I'm somewhat sure that you do not know much about creating families, am I right? well, my advise is that you should first study the tutorials, here you have the link from Autodesk were you can download "Families_guide_tutorials", like you can see you have in "Chinese" too, http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=13376394

You can search in Youtube for free videos about creating families.

Yes,I have just studied two revit  tutorials and I am not very familiar with revit,espacially some specific skills that did not mentioned too much in the tutorials files. But I do think revit can enhance large work efficiency.  The files you send me did great help for my learning to make family, so thank you very very much for your help.
