Re: how to make a window?
Mike,
You can draw the window frame using walls. Then you can use the attached triangle, defined with transparent material.
If you open the OBJ file with a text editor, you will find a line that says usemtl glasstranparent. Replace glasstranparent with any name from this list to change the material properties of that triangle. The list contains several more transparent material names, so you can match the glass colour with your other windows.

Re: how to make a window?
I am close but missing something.
I need a right angle triangle ( sorry should have stated that).
I tried to make my own.
I made a section of wall. I exported it as on obj file.
I looked at your obj file and saw the material line.
I cut that line and inserted it into my file.
I then brought the file back in by "adding furniture".
My only problem is that I can't see thought the window.
If you look at the edge in the 3D view ( you can see the division of right and left side), I can see through the top and side of glass ( can see an object behind it) but if I try looking straight through I can not.
I must have the material right or I would not be able to see through the top and side.
