I hope someone can help so here goes … When in the 3DEditor module and attempting to Subtract one object from another. In my case I'm trying to cut windows into a wall. Every now and then the resulting 'hole' has a stray face across part of it. Erasing this stray face seems impossible no matter how many times I select it then erase it. Is there any way I can cut accurate sqaure holes in a wall without this 'stray face' effect ? Thanks for your attention, Chris Inman.

Chris Create the wall and window outline in the 2DShaper, assign them. Loft them on a path the thickness of the wall in the 3DLofter with Path Steps and Shape steps set to Low (unless you have round windows). The result is a very clean wall and the window shape can be used as a path for window trim, etc. Good luck -Ted Boardman

Ted, Thanks for your help. It seems simple now you've informed me – I don't know why I didn't think of it myself !! Thanks again, Chris.
