check your floor plan cut plane settings !
If floor plan cut plane is not passing trough your window, then window will not represented on floor.

In the Organizer, select a plan View in the View Map and click on the Settings button at the bottom of the View Map.

In this Settings Box click on the Floor Plan Cut Plane Settings Box.

In the archicad Help Menu you can look in Help or the Reference Guide to find the explanation for the various settings.

Just one more little thing.
When you set the Floor Plan Cut Plane in a view, it is for that view only,
which is in the long term quite helpful as you can have a different Cut Plane for each view.
If you don't remember that, you'll be wondering why something disappeared again when you have activated a different view from the view map.
