How can I make this shaped roof. This roof was made in Rhino. Unfortunately the revolve tool will not work in this instance as the Egg radii and form is not constant.

I suppose that ToanDN' s sollution is the most obvious one in this case.
Anyway you can do it in Revit too. One way could be by using Mass modeling and then, Roof or Wall by Face....
In my example a simplified form using only nine reference points. I've used an ellipse as bottom pattern.

That is excellent, thank you very very much for the guidance, that is awesome.
If I may ask another question pertaining to the model? Now what if we want to put a skirt at the bottom of the model, so the convex top merges into the skirt with a concave curve and then it almost goes completely flat...as seen in the pic.
Or would I do that in a separate model and reference it back to the dome shape??
Thank you again.

Thanks all who have given feedback. Based on Constantin's method, I managed to do my egg dome with additional point to get the inflection [concavity at the ends].
One problem that I am having is that it will not work with roof by face. I have to use wall by face and then it makes the roof. I suppose we can make a brick vaulted roof.

So , as you already did it, you can do it by increasing the number of points.
Another way could be by using Loft function: a series of horizontal closed profiles merged together, something similar to my following screencast:
