How would you do this the best way?

Corner window (about 100 degrees just to make it more fun) with one trapezoid window and one rectangular...I cheated with SEO for this one...How do you do it?

I see two solutions:
SEO-cheat as I did
Make the whole window par as a gdl-object and SEO out the hole. This would allow for any shape I would lika but it's not a "window" anymore.
Cheers,
Mats

I normaly use an empty cornerwindow to get a nice corner in wall. After that I put normal window in same place where I put my cornerwindow.
And in corner of window I put a small column with a layer that doesn't have same ?integration? number like the walls layer.

How does your 2d view look on your model?

It works for trap... windows too, I have done this longtime ago. ArchiCads doesn't handle cornersituation as good as anyone hope.

I am NOT a cheater, I only make some workarounds...
