I would like to add a C- channel detail on to my typical wall. How do I go about creating this profile so that I can load it in the structural properties of the wall as a sweep? When I go to add a sweep only 1 profile shows up and it's not the one i want to use. Thanks!

You must create your sweep profile in a "CREATE - NEW FAMILY -METRIC TEMPLATES (IMPERIAL TEMPLATES) - METRIC PROFILE.RFT" after create them "save as" and "load into project", then, go "MODELLING" - "HOST SWEEP" - "HALL SWEEP", go to properties and click "edit/new", in "constrution" - "profile" open and choose the sweep profile you want, then "apply" and "ok", go to the walls and pick them...

what are you doing is "COMPONENT" "CREATE IN PLACE" and then shows up "FAMILY CATEGORY AND PARAMETERS" ISN'T? What i told you is "FILE"-"NEW"-"FAMILY" and choose "METRIC PROFILE.RFT" or "IMPERIAL PROFILE.RFT" depends how do you work, then create your sweep profile and do the rest i told you before...

I'm confused. Where is "File" "New" "Profile"? All I see is Home, Insert, Annotate...etc

How can I make a flat 2 foot x 6 inch profile with a curve on the outer edge to attach to a curved wall? Should I be looking at wall sweeps, or is there an easier way?

Not sure what the image shows us.
A wall sweep as part of the wall definition, will follow the wall. That requires a profile done in a profile family. An applied wall sweep will also follow the wall.
An in-place sweep can also follow the wall. You can sketch the profile for an in-place wall sweep from within the project.

I created a profile, although there wasn't a imperial or metric rft, hit "save as" and "load into project". Where is "MODELLING" - "HOST SWEEP" & "HALL SWEEP"? Is it a pull down menu hidden somewhere?
