I have been looking for tutorials every where to find the answer but i cant...

can some one please explain to me how i can make one wall have varying thickness...i dont mean in stacked walls on top of each other but a wall to be thick on right side and thin on the left in its width. i have been tracing this autocad plan to make a model from it and revit seem to only have striaght walls with no adjustable varying thickness in one wall. 

i have tried using 2 to 3 saparate walls to give one wall varying thicknes but it doesn't look professional.

Does this wall happen in a lot of locations?  you could use an in-place mass and add a wall type to the face.

I would try three different wall types (you should be able to construct them so they all join and look the way you want), or make an in-place wall.
