Sloped sill

So I've been the whole day breaking my head on how to do this sloped sill and perhaps I could get some help from the community!

I'm modeling a building from the 20's in Amsterdam and there they had a peculiar kind of sill, sloped towards the inside. Photo 1 shows how it is (however the window itself is closed off), then I have a section drawing and a  terrible photo of another of those windows that is not closed off but painted, just to illustrate how the composition looks like. But yes, my issue goes about the sloped sill.

To make it slightly worse, this window is place in a cavity wall (which I have now drawn as a composite but I have earlier today separating the outer than the inner shell) AND my walls are curved. Either way, those are just some details, I think the biggest challenge now is just to make it cutting properly through the window.

I tried:

1. window sill proprieties from the window configurator

2. beam (SEO) making a sloped cut over (but then the hole around the wall is quite terrible)

3. Wall opening tool (couldn't get it to slope in the direction I needed)

4. morph (SEO), similar issue with the beam SEO

5. Last thing I tried just now was making a custom window and play with "wallniche" proprieties but I came to discover that the angled slab with wallniche proprieties does not read the angle in the custom window, just the cut and depth.

Anybody any hints for me?

Regarding your SEO attempts, in your SEO settings, change the "New Target Surfaces" to Inherit from Operator. The cut portions will then inherit the Surface of the sides of your Operator, in this case a Beam.
