Hi Olivia,

In order to create this window, simply model it in floor plan using slabs.
Because it has an irregular shape, in order to obtain a hole in the wall that matches your window, you must create an additional slab (that follows the exterior contour of the window) and change its ID to "wallhole".
Now open these elements in 3D. Go to "File > Libraries and Objects > Save Selection as". Choose "Save as Window" option, when asked.
That's it.
For more information, open ArchiCAD's Help and see "Graphic Creation of Custom Objects -> Saving Custom Shape Doors and Windows" section.
Hope it helps.

Cheers.
