Triangular Windows in Archicad 16?

I am trying to find/make a triangular (right angle, not isosceles) window in Archicad 16 on a Mac platform. Not having the best luck so far. I used to have a Marvin window library that had some, but lost that.

Triangle window with parameter: top edge from centre = width/2

I tried that method - the program REALLY doesn't like it.

Right now I have the window(s) as a W Trapezoid Fix 15 with a shoulder height of 0. I tried using the W Triangle Fix 15 with a top edge from center of 1/2 of the width (3'), and the window completely disappears.

That's not Triangle Window 16, which is what we are discussing.

The trapezoid windows don't make good triangles.

The main reason I used that window is that I can't get the other triangular window to show up. I know it doesn't work right, but it works better (for now) than any other option I've been able to find.

I don't normally use triangular windows, so i checked this one out. It seems to work fine in all respects as my illustration confirms.

Do you have your Floor Plan cut plane set correctly?

Floor plan cut planes are set correctly. Window disappears in floor plan and elevation views
