I am presuming you can't get what you want with the ArchTop Window...

I would simply place and ARCHED OPENING in the REGULAR WALL... then ADD a curtain wall along the radius (as a separate entity)... It will not be ARCHED, but no one will know as the corners will be hidden inside the regular wall....

You can approximate the arch with straight segments (all pieces of curtain wall are straight) by using a fill to define the boundary, see the Help files for: Virtual Building > Construction Elements > Curtain Wall: A System Tool > Edit Curtain Wall Boundary in Section.
