Didn’t use Shell and Morph much before, trying to find out the best way to model this shape ( it is a curtain wall however I think it is impossible to use Curtain wall tool for it due it is shape)
-You can see the sketch of plan, and both elevations.
-The best approach I can think of is to create a profiled wall with the curved section shape , apply it to façade (curved in plan) and then turn in into morph, to subtract the edges ( I know it is possible for Shell tool to subtract and adjust in elevation- but I can’t find the same for morph).
not sure if I can use the Shell tool ? it will be curved on plan, curved on section and finally trimmed in a curve on the edges.
Any ideas, thanks?
oh the other thing is I tried to start with morph instead of profile, but I am not able to control the curve resolution, am I missing something?
i tried it 
but its too time-consuming for just one vid in morph..
There is the Dropbox-Link for the AC16EDu:

I tried it smaller with fewer elevations and other shapes in y and x - elevation.
Its a bit complex to develop out of Morph-Lines, because You have to copy each morphline new for every elevation in 3D to put on faces - on after another - and alway make security copys before You Morph-SOE. If You later need a line You have to draw it new or copy it within the Morph-part and cut this line away to use it in an other new face.
When i have time, i can make a nano - Vid-series.

Besides, you appear to be in AC 13. All we had back then was the stick tool. What gives?oops ! I have to do my homework and update my signature, apologies ! and hell yes I would love to solve all my issues with a stick
Its in upload now - a little different to the dropbox-linkfile:Thanks a lot for your help Hmooslechner ! however it looks like I have to face the sad truth that I tried to avoid at the beginning doing it floor by floor ! and actually a bit more, because I just need a shell ( a thickness) so I have to get them all in double line !

upload finished!
however I have a problem with that, when I draw an arc with Morph it is not smooth enough ( check attached pic) any ideas?
Ninja Edit : any one have any horror story to tell about exporting shell to IFC ? (or importing it into Revit?) other consultants will be using Revit actually. I would love to be terrified now rather than later !
Still looking?
