Ahhhh, so that's the rub. Come on, man, you can do it. You just gotta think three dimensionally, and draw the component triangles. Keep it to right triangles and you can solve for anything you need to know.
No, I don't use a program for ray tracing; we do it all manually in AutoCAD or on paper.
Here's a hint: If the window is sloping in the up-down dimension, and you want to know how a ray is going to reflect, all you are really interested in is where that window is at ear level. So draw a dotted line on the floor plan repesenting how far that window has moved at 48" (ear level). Then just do a normal ray trace using that dotted line as the new "wall".
