I know there is a splayed reveal object but with no window. I have tried placing the window I need inside of the opening but the display is messy and needs 2d patching. Any better ideas?
Thanks, Matt

Do you mean that you have to mask the edges of the opening
when you use the splay niche opening and if you have a hatch pattern
cut fill in your wall you have to put a fill between the outside
edge of the casing and the outside of the frame of the window
you are placing in the opening ?

If you mean a window with a splayed opening to the outside there was a discussion of this within the past year about just that for a window in a stone wall. It involved a splayed window and some SEO operations on the outside if I recall correctly. A search may pull it up.

That was the topic I was thinking of, I just did not have time to find it just then.

eah, that double chamfer looks like a bear to do.
You guys are lucky at least to have the single side chamfer. The US library only has an empty opening which has to be added to and aligned with an actual window.
Aside from making custom windows or working with SEOs and patches, the only fairly simple way to do it is to put two walls back to back and align the window in one with an empty, chamfered opening in the other.

splay reveal we have is the following.
Draw the thick wall, and insert the
w splayed reveal 10 opening into the wall.
Set the splay angles, opening dimension,
and frame depth you want. Draw another wall
that is set to the thickness of the frame depth
set in the splay reveal parameters,
is as high as the opening, and base elevation
set to the height of the sill of the opening.
Disable both wall ends and draw this wall
in the opening and bring it forward one step.
Now stretch both ends of this wall slightly
so that it's ends just mask the opening's contour lines.
Insert an ordinary window into the thin wall.
