Look at the bottom of this page and you gonna see similar threads, in your HELP menu you have the tutorial to create Mass forms and in-place familis with "Extrusions, blends, revolves, sweeps and swept blend".

You can apply walls, floors, roofs and curtain system by face in a mass (check the help), you can also, create a "Solid Sweep" in an In-place family to create that wall...

Pick in the "Wall", then "Edit", inside the "Swep" you have "Swept Properties", in there you gonna see a parameter "Material"in the right side of that "Material" you have a little button, click on it then Add a parameter, chose the type (material and finish), give it a name, put in "instance" then oK, Ok, finish the family, then in project, pick in that wall, go to the properties and check the parameter material, select and change for what material you want...

Then you must create a "Mass", with that, in "Massing"  you have an option "Wall By Face"....

Thanks Typhoon, Thats what i had originally thought, by creating a mass and changing it to a wall by face.I am having some difficulty creating the mass as i want it, As you can see in the original picture, i am trying to create a wall (or mass at this stage) that is angled and then to get that mass around the arc on the building floor. Any Help would be great on how to do so.Sorry to be a nuisence
