Looking for a family of windows that can create a steeply sloped outside sill

The company I work for does some custom homes with small clerestory or other windows set high in a thick wall. With a 45 degree stucco sill on the outside. Kinda makes the home look massive like an adobe or straw bale wall. Anyone know where I can find such an item. 

 

Here's a sketch of the condition: http://prntscr.com/jzqlsc

 

I am just learning the program and this detail is key. Have tried a couple ways of modeling it without success, thanks.

A window "opening" will cut through any depth host. 

 

To create a slope sill, you'll need to use a Void Cut, in lieu of an Opening, but it too can be constrained to the exterior and interior faces of the host wall.

Use a void to create the opening.  See screencast for a demonstration in a few minutes.

Thanks so much! Very helpful.

 

Whenever I see the image of a four-armed elephant I will think of you Ganesh!

 

Metric is not a problem either, the window works out to be very close to 24" by 24" "Old English" size.

@Anonymous: Here's another family for your perusal, that I did for another forum member a while back.  It may give you some additional insight on how to construct wall opening families of your own.  This one is an concave arched passageway opening, and is fully parametric so that instances of it placed in the project can be custom-sized (i.e. Height, Width, Slope Angle, Arch Spring Offset, etc.).

Sorry, @Anonymous, I just realized the family I posted above is not the one I was referring to.  I think that one might have been the one the other member posted and needed help with.  Look this one over and let me know what you think.
