The problem is everytime I try to install a window I keep getting the message ..found no walls to cut...tried quite a few things but keep getting the same message.

Hello Frank,
There can be several reasons for AEC_Modl not behaving as expected:
1) One of them is that the wall may be broken in the place where you want to insert the opening;
2) Another can be that the wall heights are not matching your window heights;
3) Other one is that you can have more then one object in the place where you believe the wall is: like a 2D line coincident with the 3D polygon and the macro is selecting the 2D line instead of the polygon.
My suggestion is that you put the observer in an Iso View to check up the heights, healing etc., using the
Identify feature.
A good exercise to learn the way to overcome this problems is the tandem features: In an
Iso View, use
Erase 'by Entity'/Refresh screen/Undo, all in a row, with a delay among each command.
If you do it, you can check if some entity was left behind when a piece should disappear after the erasing process.
Good luck,
Miguel
