There are plans available.
Plan 1.
Get a chippy to do it for you, they come equiped with all the right tools and knowledge at the fraction of the cost of a bugger up.

Al, ( yaaargh) :)

I put a Bay/Garden window in years ago, just framed it up exactly as a normal window, the bay window was complete and just slotted in the hole.
When I mean complete, the window had the top and bottom and sides all in the frame.

as leeton said if your buying a bay window unit you just stick it in the hole.
All manuf. will be able to give you the stud opening dimensions, & the dimensions to increase your floor area by [if your installing to floor level]
the existing opening will have a lintel over it to support roof loads etc so you just fill in either side of the bay opening to the right dimension and slip it in.
All this is assuming that the bay is going to be smaller than the existing opening if not get a professional to look at it.
