I am designing a building that is the shape of an ocean wave, and is partially a curved curtain wall. I know this can be done using the massing tool, but I just don't know where to begin. If anyone could help, please let me know. Email: XCpuckstopper35@yahoo.com Thank you.

My first image shows the east elevation looking at the eastern wall, which is in the from of the wave. The right side of the photo is the base of the wave at street level. The wave rises to roughly 50' at it's peak before it begins to collapse and create a dramatic overhang/canopy space. This form runs from the eastern end of the building, to the western end. At the west end of the building (perspective photo) a vertical tower rises through the wave. From street level to the peak of the wave my design calls for insulated glass panels to allow natural light in, but keep privacy. From the peak down, and underneath the overhang there will be clear glass as the building faces a river. I want to be able to create this curved roof form that allows the vertical tower to penetrate through, and also create the curtain wall in front of the building, underneath the overhang. Again, thank you for any help.

from the picture it looks like it's only on one plane. just draw your curtain wall and edit the profile while looking at it front on. i have attached an image, is that what you mean?
