I have a problem with creating the glass dome of Norman Foster's Elephant House in Copenaghen Zoo. Is a work for the University of Bologna. The glass dome have an irregular elliptic form. 

I'm a beginner user of revit (i use the 2013 version) and i have no idea about the creation of this dome! I'd like to have an explanation step-by-step! I actually imported on revit a plan of the dome created by autocad, but i've no idea how to proceed! Please help me, because the exam is close!

I have attached some photos about this building:
