It is possible to make a window or windoor object that has a sloping or raking head, but not a sloping or raking sill.

Vectorworks Tip #122 - Doors/Windows - Windoor

Windoor is a Vectorworks plug-in from Australia that allows you to create custom windows and doors. Unlike the standard window or door object, Windoor allows you to put doors and windows in the same frame, much like you would do in reality.

I find Windoor to be very powerful when creating doors and windows.
