The desired result is to have a egg shaped object through the massing and site tool.

What if you draw an ellipse, then a circle, then break both of them, fillet the lines to form the egg shape, and then do Create Form?

With Revit I think you need to draw multiple parallel circles defining the ribs of the 'egg' and create a form from them.

Should have been a 20 second job in Rhino.

Sorry, I didn't realize that the user wanted a true egg, I thought it was a flat figure with an egg shape boundary.

A quick way to do it is this:

I had no idea that you could do a revolve form like that.  Thanks a lot!
