Save elements as window SE2012

Hello,
I'm just starting using ArchiCAD and watching lots of tutorials and trying things out. So far a great program! But now I want to create a custom window and I can't seem to save the window (made of beams and slabs) using the save library part. Is this a restriction of the StartEdition or am I missing something.
If it is a restriction, are there other ways to create a custom window?

Thanks!

It works - but as it was little more complicated in v.15 then in newest 16:
- you have to draw your window with 3D elements,
- open 3D window and set axonometry (elevation from top),
- use command Save 3D model as... form File/Libraries and Objects,
- choose Window for object type from next window.
That's all for saving rectangular windows.
