I think the best way is to do it as a horizontal slab, and then tilt it up? You can also do a covered polyline horizontally, and then make it a symbol, and rotate / tilt it into position.
You can put specialty windows in Smart Walls by modeling the window and including it as a symbol in the Window Type definition.
I've attached a zipped-up AEC file of this example. For sloped walls like gable ends, you'll have to model the wall as either a 3D polygon, slab, or covered polyline (see my next post).

In this example, the gables are modeled with covered polylines. The circle top windows are smart windows with a custom symbol.

Do. Or do not. There is no try.

A big wish list item here would be the ability to add a vertex to a smart wall (ie. a wall with 5 points), allowing the fifth point to be placed at a higher z-h to create the gabled wall. This ability would really enhance smart walls and save a lot of time in currently having to model two separate entities to create the gable wall. ... nice examples too!
