First let me start by saying I am very new at revit, so please don't get to technical with me (if at all possible!) J. Second, I am trying to create doors and frames based on our company standards and I am running into issues with frame sizes and properties. Our frames are centered on the inside of the wall and have specific dimensions such as the top of the frame is 4 inches and the sides of them are 2”. I have figured out how to sweep and center the frames, but without doing a separate sweep for each side and then one for the top (that has to be broken up in to multiple pieces in order to get it to all fit together) I am not sure how to do it. Is there an easier and quicker way? Next question, once I have everything built and I insert it in to the project, then I don’t have the ability to adjust it (door swings, etc.) – so what am I doing wrong? Any help would be grateful!

Doors windows and other parametric families are very hard to understand when you are first starting REVIT so don't expect an easy answer. There are many things you need to learn before you will feel somewhat proficient at them One of the best ways to start is to study some existing families and see haw they were done. Frames can be sweeps or extrusions. Extrusions will work better for your 2" jamb- 4" head but then they won't have a profile. Most 3d doors are made that way and if you want a profile to show in plan then un-check show in plan for the 3d frame and add 2d linework to the family for plan views. For your sizes, you need to understand types. Check that out in the families you study. Keep struggling & you will begin to understand it.

And also flipping the door front and back, left and right is a simple add in of control arrows. You will see those in the family editor under the "reference line" command to the left of your screen. You will be able to place a door or window in the model and simply click these control arrows and voila!
