How you define modify? I never did this before!

[ennujozlagam]

What I meant is download similar window family from website that I posted and then edit/modify that window family to your needs. Thanks

And thats the key. I don't know how i can modify that.

Anyone has a manual?

Search in YouTube on how to create window family, there are a lot of tutorials you start from there and get some idea on how to create window family, etc etc. Hope it helps.

From my experience , the better way is to make windows types (and this is true for all types of families ) by yourself, so to be sure they are suitable to your purpose...

Some times from scratch using window template, sometimes as ennujozlagam suggests , using an existing family...

• New > Family > New Family - Select Template File > Window > Open
• in Family Editor > Project Browser > Elevations > Exterior > select The Opening Cut > Edit Sketch - change the shape you want
• 
• Use Reference Planes and Reference Lines (for angled ) and apply parameters for dimensions
• Create , using Extrude ( or Sweep, etc) the frames, window pane and all other window components - lock them to references
• 

• apply material parameters ( to frame, window pane, etc)
• load the family into Project and use parameters to fit your purpose

I've attached such a family ...it can be refined , but in general ,I think it can be useful.....
