Round half sphere but flat on top - possible or not using model-in-place?

The picture below is just an illustration of the shape I'm after. Is it possible to make this shape in Revit? I know how to create a half-sphere using model-in-place revolve, but is it possible to get it flat on the top as well? I tried editing the sketch into what I picture in my head, but I'm just stuck and can't get my head around it (no pun intended, hah!).

Hello,

Could you try with Revolve and make the boundary line like this? But there will be a hole inside it.

Yes! Perfect, thank you! I sometimes struggle to get my head around the revolve and sweep tool, which is very frustrating. With a little tweak to your suggestion I got the shape exactly how I wanted it. Much appreciated!
