So I am needing to model a toilet, but unsure how best to create the bowl itself to make it accurate to the actual toilet I am recreating.  Any suggestions?

You can't find one on-line?  I would do that first.  Revit is not the place to model a toilet.

It's a specific model that is not anywhere online. I used a bowl from another domestic toilet that was of similar size and shape, and modeled the rest to get a more accurate look. the whole thing took about 30 min's but it would be nice to know how to model a toilet bowl in revit. I dont have 3DS on this computer, and imports from sketchup are sketchy at best sometimes.

Strange shaped or small intricate forms do not model easily in Revit.  Much easier to do in CAD or elsewhere.

Make a profile of half the bowl, then revolve that profile around 180, it has limitations, but works pretty well

No, it looks like a toilet bowl... the profile is not round, its toilet bowl shaped
