complex profiles

I have created a curved wall using complex wall profiles. Now the wall works well but the problem is when I want to put window in. The window does not want to align to the wall and it hovers above my wall because it is attached to the base of my wall. I have tried many other alternatives like playing with the reveal depth and even tried creating a slanted wall with it's own window the size of my original window and and placing it on my curved wall as an empty hole and as solid elements operations, but no luck.
Can any one please help, it's for my mid semester final project.

Windows in AC are going to be vertical.

You could 'fake' a window using the roof tool and place it in an empty opening. Change your window to an empty opening and place this 'window' using the roof tool setting thickness, material and slope so it will fit into the opening and mimic a window.

And in the properties window should be the option "According to the Wall" (do not know what it's called in English version)
