look, my sweep family,  the vertical ref plane has been defined as wall face, so when I upload this sweep to project file, the left of the sweep will attach to the wall, but actully I want to the horizontal ref plane to be defined as wall face. how to change it, also I  need to know how to difine exterior and interior for the ref plane. plus this sweeps was modified from a alreay made sweep by me, so the fucntion of ref planes has already been set.

 thanks!

This does not look like a wall or face based family and as such, the reference plane name doesn't mean anything.  Just turn off "always vertical" in the family's settings and rotate it in the project.

If I am wrong and this is a face based or wall based object, then you will have to modify it in the family.

Its simple as ... rotating the profile 90 º, reasign dimensions and reload.
