How do I make this dome-like form?

Hello!

I'm trying to get my design in Revit but I can't get very far...

It is suppose to be a dome-like shape but with asymmetrical dimensions. 

I have tried with a mass model so far but I can't get the round shapes when it's  asymmetrical...

Here are the outlines of my building with the dimensions and also like the form it is supposed to look like but then with the right dimensions (which it isn't right now).

This is the physical model I made which also shows (in general) what it is suppose to look like.

Can someone tell me how to get this done in revit?

Void Masses cut Solid Masses.  In other words, try a subtractive modeling approach. 

 

BTW: Nice job with the physical model.

Thank you!

I´m trying it now with the subtractive modeling method but I still can´t get it.

The straight part is no problem! But the round parts won´t cut trough the mass..

If i select a few of the outlines I made for the cut, it gives an error...

Why is that?

You have to model the solid and void masses in the same in-place massing session.

I did, but I still got the error.

What is the error?  

 

Show me more views of your physical model so I can get a better idea of what the finish mass shape is suppose to look like and maybe I can show you what needs to be done.  Right now, I can't visualize it entirely based only what is shown in your photo.
