But the WGlider3 part makes each sash the same width.... there must be a toggle I am missing, right?
It's a butt-ugly window if you ask me, but I need it for a model of the existing house.
cheers,

You can make a custom window easily in Archicad. Make the window laying down using slabs with the middle/bottom of the window at 0,0,0 in the drawing (shown in next post). Select just the window components and show only them in 3D view. When these parts are selected and shown in 3D, then go to:
File (menu) -> Libraries and Objects -> Save 3D Model as... -> Save the filename -> select the "a Window" option in the "Save as Library Part" dialog box. You can now insert this as a window into your drawing. You may have to experiment a couple times with the process.

What do you typically do to show window casings with this type of window? Just model it up separately?

It's really not that difficult; just sounds like it.
Hope this helps,

Thanks for the sub-type idea Duane
Even as a complete newbie to gdl, I think I can handle that one.
And as very minor unimportant sub note: I think jbArch meant to write OXO.

What you are saying makes sense to me (o = operable), but the window manufacturers seem to think it is the other way around (o = stationary, x=operating). Or at least Marvin and Milgard treat it that way.
BTW, I like your protest drafting arm.
