You know, Velux has got families just like this that you can download for free.

...do you want a Detail or a Model Family -- or both in one?

As I mentioned before; Velux offers Revit Families. You can download them for free directly from their website. Download and reverse-engineer one of their families. That's what I would do -- and have done for years. No better way to learn, IMO.

...drill down into "Skylights" on this Link. You'll find Revit content.

...Check this out too. Looks kind of like what you are depicting in your original screenshot.
