I am using V10.8a.
I have a cabin and need to make a gable end window where both sides of the top match the roof.
I can convert a fixed glass windowto match one side of the roof with the "match roof" in the shape box. Next I would like to reflect that so the top of the window is a triangle with both angles matching the roof. Roof pitch is same on both sides.
Thanks in advance,

Start with a fixed window, open the window DBX, under the shape tab, set the left and right heights at some numer lower that the overall ht (that number will vary depending on the slope of roof and width of window), place a check in "Top left corner" place the full ht # in the "Height" box, and 1/2 the width in the "From" box. Do the same for the "Top right Corner".
BTW, this is the same for V10 & X1.
Ed:
Another simple way of getting that shape of window is to use a Tudor arch as shown. I don't believe the "Match Roof" option works with this style of window but, if you don't mind messing with the settings a little, you could fairly quickly get the window's top rakes to match your roof pitch.
