I am using revit 2017.  I created my wall type and added a custom wall sweep. Some of them mitre correctly and some don't - I am not sure what I did right to make it work or what I am doing wrong.  I have attached two pictures to show what is happening.  I have been searching for days.  I am also a bit of a newbie.

In plan have you checked to make sure the grip ends of those 2 sweeps are connected?

These are in the wall definition, not added to the walls as wall sweeps?  There is a difference.

As WWHub said you can have a sweep as part of the wall definition. To do so you need to edit the wall type, expand the preview button at bottom left, make sure you are looking at the section view (default is plan view), then click the edit structure button. There you can add sweeps to the wall definition. See attached image

If you are doing in-place wall sweeps rather than wall defined, you must do them as one entity - not seperate sweeps.  Start the process and continue placing legs until finished.  If you need to, you can always pick a sweep that is alreadfy in-place and you will be given the option to add new legs or remove them.  These sweeps will always miter correctly and even close properly at the end if a full loop is picked.
