Open the OOTB Mass Dome Family (it fully parametric!) and Divide the Surface.

Yes this one I know but look at my dome top floor plan it’s different. The one you told me it’s getting at end centre.. I need in different way. Just try to understand if you can from my screenshot  of SketchUp also. I really appreciate your reply. 😊

Like I said, it's fully parametric. But, you're going to need to create two 180 degrees revolve to be able to divide surfaces.  Can't divide your 360 dome.

For massing, I would create revolve arc to create a dome. Then you would create straight line extrusion to get the grid profile.

You may create another massing with the same shape and void as inverse so you get the mullion profile.

Load both massing into the project. Then you would use model by face using roof. Then create roof call glazing and apply glazing material. Once you apply the roof thickness, you will end up with the look like the screenshot below.
