Double splayed windows

Does anyone know how to make windows splayed on both external and internal side? I have to remake windows displayed on the picture bellow but nothing has worked, I´m new to the program. Thank you!

This will likely need some gdl coding

I would try the following without GDL:

1. Place a Rectangular Window Opening into the Wall, which would be the size of the 3D Bounding Box of the intended Window geometry, including the whole geometry of the splayed Wall parts. (You could place an Opening element as well, but I found that the line between the Wall sides and the splay Profiles will disappear in 3D when using an Empty Window element, but it will not when using an Opening element.)

2. Create Profiles for the splayed portions and use the Column/Beam tools to place them into the Wall Opening.

3. Place a single Wall into the hole within the Opening. The thickness of this Wall would equal the thickness of the intended Window Frame.

4. Place the Window into this thin Wall.

If the Surface of the splayed parts is the same as the sides of the Wall and they are modeled accurately, then the joint between the splayed parts and the Wall sides should not appear in 3D.
