I have been trying to get a family of a bay window suitable for a project I am working on, I cant seem to find anything suitable, it would be great if anyone had any advice on how to develop a bay window to suit, please see the attached images of what I am trying to achieve.

Any help would be great

If you are not needing a family with adjustable parameters... I would use the Model in Place tool and model it to look like you want.  Putting it under the window category should allow you to schedule it and use any window parameters in you project in scheduleing.

Thanks for your reply, What would be the best way to start modelling a window as it isnt something I have had to do before, I dont need it to be parameter so I can just draw it up to the correct size that is required.

If you don't know how to model one, I suggest checking out BIMobject.com , modlar.com or seek.autodesk.com.

They're free (after registration).

If you can't find it there, you can always model in place as swdebenport suggests.

For the window itself you could also use a curtain wall.
