How to make a window look like a door?

Here's my dilemma?
I need to make a window have 'adjustable' top, bottom, and side rails? how do I do this?
I don't just want "fixed" same size all around for the frame...I need the window to function like a door object were we can adjust the top, bottom, and side rails of a doors panel.
how can I do this?
Also, if I can NOT adjust the windows rails to be different, then how can I make a door tag be a "hexagon"? right now the door tag is "greyed out" therefore I can NOT change the shape of the door tag.

(see attached).

are the D3Smart Parts 18 compatible?
will they schedule properly?
can I adjust the top, side and bottom rails on both doors AND windows?

Only thing about CadIMage Karl is the cost. it's prohibitively expensive.
Graphisoft should take clues from these guys though. they have some nice add-ons.
Wouldnt' be surprised if they get absorbed one day like Adesk does to some of it's good add-on programmers.
I used to swear by cadimage but blech. try D3 smart parts. i hate graphisofts standard doors and windows, but the smart parts are a good inbetween, and you dont have to ever upgrade to use them. for 99 bucks you cant beat what you get.
