I haven't used massings much and could really use some help figuring out the best way to do this...
I had a concept for a cottage that I wanted to model in Revit. I created what you see in the attachment as a mass family and loaded it into a new project (perhaps not the proper way to do this?). I want to turn the geometry I created into solid walls. The challenge is that no part of the profile of the wall is exactly similar - so, converting the faces into generic walls won't work.....
How would you do this? What would be the best way to achieve the desired outcome?

You can do wall by face but each portion that has a different wall will have to me just that part of the mass.
Your really doing this backwards. A little time spent ahead of time understanding the software is always an advantage.

If I am doing this backwards, what would be the best way to do this then?

The backwards was not understanding Revit first. You need to learn about how and when to use masses and how to then apply Revit elements to them. So I suggest you look at tutorials on that.

Thanks for replying but, this is not my first time using revit - the geometry I have dealt with in the past wasn't this complicated and I just haven't used massing elements much up until now so there is a bit of a learning curve. If you know of any tutorials that might help with my particular situation a link would be helpful...I will also do some searching myself.
It might be simple if the profile of the wall was consistant all the way around but, 'tis not.

As I said earlier.
"You can do wall by face but each portion that has a different wall will have to me just that part of the mass."
That means multiple mass families - not one.

This can be done in one family; just draw the curves that define the walls in three horizontal planes, create form (just surfaces) load into project, do wall by face.
