I am a new Revit user trying to create a wall family to use as a conical light shaft. I would like to make it flexible so I can input the roof opening diameter and the base diameter as instance properties. I am having a really hard time getting started, not really sure how to make the roof opening an instance property, or how to tie the walls to this radius, or even to create the walls in the first place!

I have started a family using the generic roof model, with walls as the category. I am having a hard time figuring out how this exactly will make walls the same as regular plan wall types and to display as such.

Any big tips for this big novice?
