You simply Edit the Family and draw the 2D detail lines in the Floor Plan Ref Level View and reload into the model.

In this instance you could rotate the 2 rectangular elements representing the doors to 90 degrees and then stretch the curved/swing element to the corner of the doors

Are you aware that you have a fully parametric swing Family in your Revit Content Library.  "Door Swing-Single.rfa". It could easily be a swing in your Family. Nest this "Door Swing-Single.rfa" into your Family and associate its parameters to parameters in your Family.   "Door Swing-Single.rfa" and be found in the "Door-Interior-Single-1_Panel-Wood.rfa" among others.
