If you are talking about a window, there is not the same amount of flexibility as with a door leaf where you can determine the size of each member individually (top and bottom rails, stiles, vision rail etc.). I'm not sure of a workaround either but will keep thinking...
Yes, there is great flexibility in making door leafs and panels. However the frame (in elevation) is stuck with 2" everywhere and I need a thicker (wider) frame at the floor. I even tried to fool it with a timber frame (mine is hollow metal) but that didn't work.
