look , I have sweeps at the corner of the wall, not vertical angle, I don't  know how to make it. is that I have to make some spcial sweeps in the family? and I then made a special sweep, and upload into project, it seems that the sweep direction is not coordinance with the family, I intentially mada a small bulge on the sweep,so it is easy to tell the direction.

No sure what you are asking.  If you are appling a vertical corner "wrapping" sweep, they are hard to do because Revit may not agree with you as to which face is hosting the sweep.  I usually build these offset from their insertion point so that I can place them on the face back away for the corner.  BTW, You may need a left/right hand if the sweep is not symetrical.

Also not quite sure where you mean for the sweep to be, but when you start sketching the path of a sweep, before you start, you have an option to "pick 3D Edge" for the path.  This is to the right of the line options, and different from the pick line option..

This allows you to make complciated 3D sweeps along existing geometry.
