The window is rectangular, but mullions etc extend in such a way that the default wallhole is created too big. Thus by follwing David's tip, I made the 3D wallhole fit.
But the 2D wallhole (the mask that cuts the wall in the plan view) is still too big (see attachment), and doesn't care about my efforts to make it smaller. Is there a simple way to fix this?

Can you post an elevation view of your window?
Thanks,

Below is a view combo showing dumps (not to scale) from the constructed window's .pln file.
(it looks weird diminshed -please click on it, it's just 16K)

As you can see, it's a beautiful traditional Swedish window, slightly Baroque in style, although in this case built around 1910. The object is regrettably just a very crude representation of the real thing, which has all kinds of small but exquisite detailing.
In the object's 2D view, i removed the trimmings (no need for them there). And the WALLHOLE command made the 3D cut perfect. But in the plan view, the hole in the wall is still too big (makes room for the trimmings).
The forum refused to accept the WIN file type, so I had to zip it. I used two different types of encoding, see below. Also, i'm not sure if i succeeded to save it in cross-platform format. Please notify if something's wrong!

Thomas wrote:That is the answer to your question. When you make the window that way, the plan hole size equals the width of ALL the elements that make the window - including the trimmings. So the A of the winow is the window hole plus the trimming. Try reducing it in the script.

This way of making a window doesn't generate a 2D script, just a 3D one. Thus I was under the impression that this WALLHOLE command would be used when Archicad cuts the wall in floor plan window too. But not.
And since I can't access this 2D plan wallhole in the object's 2D symbol window or "2D full view" window (why two similar? windows??), and I don't know how to create a 2D script from scratch, I still don't know how to do it. Which was my question in the first place!
I think I still hate GDL.

Type in the X+ and X- fields
-95*A/1410
And save.
