I am relatively new to Revit, although I'm getting the hang of it. I am trying to model a complex timber shell, similar to the structures in the attached images. My questions are:

1: I have been given the shape of the shell, although I am yet to resolve this into a funcational strucutral grid. Is there a tool available in Revit (or perhaps another software package) that can generate this kind of structure? 

2: Can Revit create the correct timber-steel joint in bewtween the elements?

3: Can Revit create the panelling system, (which will have to be detailed for weatherproofing and insulation)

I understand I sound a  bit naive, and a lot of this might be well out of Revit territory, but I thought it might be worthwhile asking. It's worth noting that the desgin is purely hypothetical. Thanks.
