It uses nested "divided path" components that are repeated in X and Y directions...

Use the Orientation property...

It is an interesting add-in for Revit that can import point data into the conceptual environment.  It was written to "narrow the gap between computational concept design, terrestrial laser scanning and Building Information Modeling."

Version 2.1 has just been released (25 May 2013)

Some info:
GreenSpider conveniently parses ASCII text files representing 3D vertexes, whether generated by computational modeling software or terrestrial laser scanning equipment.
...
Decimated laser scanner point clouds are imported this way in Revit as many times as needed (using a reset function every time in Translator module), and generated curves can be used to originate surfaces very close to their real geometry.

Heads-up:

#GreenSpider 2.1 for #Revit almost ready to launch. Still some work on Eclipse installer!

Try this:
Make sure that you are using the Face option for placing the component.
Turn off the Original Path by selecting the Divided Path and using:

Start the place Component command.
Make sure that you pick a Node on the Divided Path to place the Component.

The Repeat button should now be visible.

Note: you can set a Node of the Divided Path as a workplane (the Placement Plane dropdown in the Options bar will read "Divided Path"), but placing a Component on such a workplane will likely mean that the Repeat button will be grayed out.

1. Make a rectangular extrusion form
2. Make a revolve form using funny looking profile shown above - switch to void
3. Cut geometry, and then adjust grips as necessary to make it look nice

Oh, why is it impossible to make seamless spheres in the #Revit conceptual massing environment? Why?! Time for beer.
