Tell me please if I can make an angled wall or a curtain wall (how to rotate a wall about a horizontal axis)?

Thank you.

If I understand right you want and angled wall in elevation. If that is what you are after, go to your elevation view, click on the wall and select edit profile from the options bar, then you will see magenta lines, just draw the shape you want your wall and finish sketch. If you want a wall angled in section, you make a mass first with a face sloping as you wish, easiest is an extrustion in section. then finish the mass and use the wall by face tool to pick one face of the wall with your wall type selected.

System based walls are by definition vertical. If you want to tilt a wall, you will have to Create it with an In-Place family. The same is true for battered walls.

Hope this helps.

In addition to an in-place family, you can create a wall based on the surface of a mass. This is a more powerful tool. Look at the Wall by Face tool on the massing toolbar....
