How can I get the option cross section in properties?

Hello! I am quite new to Revit, so if there is something obivous I'm missing, I'm sorry!

I want to make a slanted wall, and according to the Knowledge Network I'm supposed to select the wall and select the option "slanted" on the Cross Section, which is supposed to be somewhere under Constraints. However, I don't have this option. How can I add this option to my properties?

Revit 2022?

No, Revit 2020

2020 doesn't have that functionality.

Since you are not using Revit 2022, you can create slanted wall(s) by:

1 - Wall by Face:

- create an in-place mass with sloped surface(s), finish the mass

- Architecture tab > Wall dropdown menu > Wall by Face: pick face(s) to create Wall(s)

- When you need to change the Walls (slope, height), edit the mass, select the Walls and Update to Face

2 - Model in-place

- Architecture tab > Component dropdown menu > Model In-place > Select Walls category: model walls using available tools such as Sweep, Revolve, Swept Blend, etc...  An in-place wall can be a single or multiple elements, including loadable families.
