I think I have figured out how to put windows into a starship saucer section

This is how I did it - Borgman - check this out and see if it works for you as well

Step 1 - selected View - Hidden Geometry
Step 2 - Magnified one geometric section
Step 3 - Drew a box using the pencil draw line tool
Step 4 - After completing the box, used offset to make a smaller box
Step 5 - Extruded the smaller box slightly above the hull level to make a small raised area
Step 6 - Colored the smaller box a window transparent color
Step 7 - erased the outer lines that I drew to make the first box leaving the smaller box intact

I have posted an image that I hope shows this clearly
