tilted or tapered exterior walls

I'm thinking of adding a tilted or tapered wall to one of our modern custom home projects and couldn't find where I could manipulate the wall to angle off the base axis.

I've added a picture I found online to show something similar to what I'm talking about.

 

Thank you in advance for the help.

This is going to be a true PITA for you to do in Chief.  You can do it, but don't expect the normal automated capabilities you're used to.  As Alan mentioned, you can try using roof planes, but you're going to have wall, ceiling, and floor related framing intersection issues to contend with in addtion to the plan view weirdness, and that's just for starters.  I think I would personally be very inclined to model the spaces independent of the walls and then model the walls manually possibly using an actual wall as a starting point and then converting it to a symbol.  Again, its all doable, but not easy.  I would personally plan on just doing the minimum and patching details with CAD as necessary otherwise you could easily sink a couple days into making all perfect.
