splayed / angled window openings

Anonymous
Not applicable
Does anyone have a good method for creating splayed window openings?
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

Below is an image of the international window - the splayed edge at he bottom of the image is the actual window, the splay at the top has been patched to show where I would like the splay to come from. The international window settings (as shown on the bottom) only allow the splay to come from the center of the glazing, in the case an outswing casement. The top illustrates where I would like the splay to start - at the inside edge of the window frame. Does anyone know if it is reasonably easy to modify the window script to change the origin point of the splay? Any other ideas?

Thanks, Matt

This might take a few extra steps or the addition of an additional window opening.
Look in the GDL Reference for WALLHOLE.

This command cuts wall openings [duh] can be angled and offset to achieve any kind of splay.
