AC version?

You should add it to your signature, Dhaval. Along with your system specs.

Cheers.

Dhaval, whenever you can't locate a library part, use the "Find Library Parts" or "Subtype View".

I'm repeating myself but you really should add at least your AC version and OS to your signature.

Avjo.

I want to put a seperate transom or window with segmented radius top.
As these shapes are usual in architecture, and i wonder that I could not find this element in a leading BIM software ArchiCAD.
Kindly guide me.

Dhavalbhai,

I've given you the example of a segmented door which you can insert using the door tool. Use the window tool to find a similar segmented window - with a transom or otherwise.

You can use arched windows and window openings from ArchiCAD 12 Standard Library. Just set the "Curve resolution" parameter according to the number of segments which you need.
For example, for "W Arched Cas 12" windows you should open "Parameters" block, then open "3d Representation" and see "Curve resolution" parameter.
As for openings, you can see the "Curve resolution" just at the top part of parameters list.
