Good morning, I am a newbie therefore perhaps my question is foolish. Do I have to insert a wall whose thickness is varying, as can I do it?
(The varying thickness is in plant, not in height....)

IF YOUR WALL THICKNESS IS IN PLAN, YOUR BEST BET IS TO USE A STACKED WALL SYSTEM. YOU CAN DETERMINE THE HEIGHTS OF EACH WALL SYSTEM THAT BECOMES PART OF THE STACKED SYSTEM . THIS IS A NEW FEATURE AVAILABLE IN REVIT 7.0.

Ok, I see what you mean. Your best bet is to create an in-place family, choose wall, so that your mass behaves as a wall and the using your extrusion tool create the wall. That would be the easiest way of doing .

Arnosandoval thanks, but be patient....
I have done as you have told me, the wall is created and inserted in the abacus, but I don't succeed in inserting a door or a window. Where am I wrong?

No problem just trying to help
What is the wall made of, is there a cavity inside(thus built from a series of walls) or is it monolithic? Think about how that wall is constructed. If that is something you dont care about.
Try inserting the windows and door in elevation, that seems to work See attached
