:( Does anybody know how to slope the top of a curved wall? the only way I know to slop the top of a wall is through editing the sketch. curved walls won't let me do this. Any suggestions? Thanks!

create a reference plane at the slope you want, and use the attach top/bottom command to attach the wall top to the reference plane.

I´m looking for a "curved" reference plane on the wall, is it possible?
Like sketching a closed spline/void on a curved wall, and substract the void?

Curved wall with a curved top? Sure it can be done! Question is, what's the best way. If the curved wall is below a curved roof, then just attach the wall to the roof. If not, you can create an in-place family roof, using a void, to the curve you need. Then attached the curved wall to the roof void.

See the attached image:

Good trick Scott. I hadn't thought of making an in place roof family with only a void. I'll remember that one.
