Trimming and Splitting Masses

I am trying to recreate a model I made in rhino with Revit's Massing tools but I'm having trouble doing it. Attached are some images from Rhino and what I've done so far in Revit. The main mass is what I'm after. It's basically a wall slanted at 80 degrees with a sweeping roof. So I made a mass for the wall and the roof.

 

Initially I thought I could Mass the wall and make it taller than needed. Then use wall by face and then finally use attach top/base to make the wall meet the roof. However, it seems attach top/base isn't available for walls created with wall by face. So that doesn't work.

 

What I want to try now is to use the roof mass to trim the wall mass that is above the roof. Is this possible? If so how can I achieve it? Or am I going about this in the wrong way? In which case could you point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks in advance!

My suggestion would be to get rid of the middle-man and re-create the mass in Revit so you can directly modify it and quickly update to face.

Guess I'll look into that for my next project. For now I'm sticking with importing the Rhino model bit by bit in to Revit.
