Подскажите пошаговый алгоритм построения эллипса встроенного в прямоугольник размером 105,6см х 39,6см в Ревит с помощью стандартных линий и окружностей. 
Tell me please a step-by-step algorithm for constructing an ellipse embedded in a rectangle of 105.6 cm x 39.6 cm in Revit using standard lines and circles.

This method will approximate an ellipse with arc segments, using a true arc as a guide, and is much faster than any method that requires geometric construction. The first arc segment is created using the Start-End-Radius Arc tool, and all the rest are with the Tangent End Arc tool. Easy.

Just curious, why you don't want to use the Ellipse tool to draw an ellipse?

One more time. (It took a while for the Autodesk servers to get this ready.)

In particular, I am building an architectural wall based on an ellipse. But the drawing tools on the walls don't have it.

Create an elliptical  mass form and generate the wall by face.

I'll complete that because the dimensions of the ellipse are so small you have to place Wall by Face > Finish Face Interior...
