Two Awnings under Picture Window

I swear I have done this typical window before with the ArchiCAD library but for the life of me I can't figure out how. A long time ago I used the Smart Parts window which is shown on the left but I haven't used that library for a while now. The best ArchiCAD library window I can do is on the right. Can I make the window on the left with the ArchiCAD library?.

All thanks to Ling.
I must admit I have never used this either.
I will try to remember it is there - may come in useful sometime.

I think I have only used it once, with one of my own custom objects that I was using as a door panel that I need a few variations of...

I guess it could also be used to save on loading times in cases where you have a huge object library of which you are using in a very limited capacity.
