How do you cut a hole in a wall ? to make a door or window fit there or just to let in some light.??? instead of building a new wall and laving a gap?

wont the cutter tool work?
Youd have to do many cuts, but it should be possible (easy if ur window is rectangular).

ye, substract tool can do it with dividing one brush by a few ones (you still cannot have a perforated brush). but, at least in cod1, it often causes bugs if a door brush is not in rectagular shape.

All brushes must have solid convex shapes.
So, you cannot make (for exmaple) and 'L' shape using one brush.

To make a hole in a brush, you would create more brushes using the clipper tool.

So, to create an 'L' you would have one brush '|' and a second '_'

When you have them in position, you can apply a texture to both brushes at the same time, this will align the texture and after compile the shape will looke natural and seamless.

Only watch the "2-point clipping". Its quite quick, but its simply explained.
