The roof pitch is 9⁰ and the sloping wall is 100⁰
See the attached picture, it's the timber clad wall with no windows on it at the moment. My aim is to create a window on the top story that follows the roof and sloping wall, and on the story a below that has all sides at right angles apart from one side that should be parallel to the sloping wall.
Thanks.

David wrote:It did to some extent once I realised that wasn't done in archicad11, thanks. But when I save it as a custom window component it does not rotate it to be vertical. So the window is the correct shape and dimension but lying on the floor instead of standing up in the wall - if that makes sense.
Would this tutorial help you?

Try viewing it from what would be the windows top, and then save it.
So you need to set the view to be the north elevation in the 3D projection settings. That should give you the view of the windows top.

as a "custom window component" rather than a "window".
Window components are objects not windows or doors
and do not get rotated to the vertical and inserted into walls.
