The tutorial_glass package can be used for other windows (almost anyone but there can be some exceptions), but you have to modify the Material Override. Do this:
1)
Clone the window you like, with all the cloning options
unchecked
2) Examine all the Material Overrides, looking at the field "Subset": search for a subset that refers to the glass.
3) Export the chosen Material Override, then close SimPE without saving.
4) Open the tutorial_glass file and, first of all, *replace* the Material Override with the one you have previously exported.
3) Now select the newly imported MMAT and change the "defaultMaterial" parameter to zero (= false)
4) In the "name" field, write
##0x1c050000!windowloftdoublehung_overlay_clear
5) Commit and save.
6) Now you can follow the tutorial using your modified package, instead of the original tutorial_glass one.
