Slant wall where rotation plane is set as a curve

Hi,

 

Is it possible to slant a wall at 45 degrees, but set the rotation axis to be curved (red dotted line in images below). I have created a roof structure using model in place, creating a sweep and then a series of void extrusions. I am now trying to create the skylight structure above by creating a curtain wall which I can then rotate 45 degrees along the curve of the roof. Please see images attached. The issue is that when I rotate the wall the plane by which it rotates is flat rather than being able to choose a curve. I wondered if there was a way to set the rotation plane along a curve. 

 

Thanks,

 

Fin

Edit Profile. Attach Top/Base.

I would create a mass family

Once you load it in, you would use roof by face & curtain system by face

I would do it via a Mass. Wall by [Mass] Face. Be a heck of alot easier.
