If it is a trapezoid it is set to follow the wall or ceiling by default. If you don't want it to do either you need to tell it. Go to the miscellaneous tab in the window edit menu and tell it to slope up to right or left and set the pitch. If you have the width and the pitch set correct you should get the numbers you want (or at least close).

Did you ever find a resolve to get the 2' leg on one side and the 4' leg on the other side?  I'm trying to accomplish that myself right now and am not having much luck!

Stephan that works but that may not be the pitch you have to modified to try to match the pitch but that works just look at the window in elevation 

and see if it matches
