u cant make curves and u probably would use models for the window frame and glass is a material

 

[mindless_moder]

what do u mean u cant make curves :s ?

 

[thereisaspoon]

i'm pretty sure that explains itself, you can't make curves, as in curves/b-splines unlike doom3 where you can use nurbs.

do u make glass from a entity or something or a texture like water?

Arch tool for curves (as in curved corners and such) just select it from the dropdown when you have the block tool selected. As for glass, make something that will fit your hole, apply nodraw textures to all the sides, go to the side that you want the glass and give it a glass texture like glass/glasswindowbreak070a, then select the glass pane and tie it to entity (ctrl+t) and choose func_breakable_surf, the settings in there should be pretty straight forward.
