I am pretty new to using Archicad so a few things are stumping me along the way. I am trying to create a box window that you can sit in that has a set depth of 60cm. I would like 20cm to sit internally and the remainder to jut out of the external wall. I have attached an image of what I have done so far. Can anyone please help to advise how I extend beyond the external wall (rather than having the whole seating area inside)?
Thanks!

Hi @Ashleigh2,
May be you could try playing around with: Bay and Bow Windows 27> Square Bay Window 27
Also you could build the "box" using walls and slabs and a Basic Window instead.
Even an oversized frame with a negative revel could work. It depends on the building system and the detail you need.

This is easy with a Curtain wall.
Probably with more options and details than
the bay windows. It depends....
