As I wrote before, you can also do this with custom profiles.

Just draw the bricks + keystone in elevation view, then copy and paste them to a custom profile. You'll need to make at least 3 profiles: 2 for the bricks (with different materials assigned to them, or they will unify in evelation view) and 1 for the keystone. This gives you all the freedom you need to end up with excactly what you want. Downside is that it isn't easily adjustable if you change the window sizes.

Put the custom profiles perpendicular to the wall and use solid element operation to cut them in the wall.
