It depends on which library you are using, but there may be a different part for arch top rather than round top windows. If you can't find the arch you want you can create it as a profiled beam which you can insert at a right angle to the wall.

ok i just played around with my english version of archicad 15 at home.
I found this, i think it looks pritty close to the desired photo ?

I hope when im back in the office, they have the same window, fingers crossed.

So you are english speaking working on the german version?

BTW: If the stock parts just won't do what you need it's no that hard to make a custom window. No coding necessary, just model with slabs, etc and save as a library part. There are instructions in the GDL Reference.
