You can use CSG Substract, but often it's full of bugs. So I suggest you make the brushes around the window. So you create your hole manually.

As long as you have decent pc specs and you are useing the first release of the mohr you will be fine using CSG. I think im the only person to never have a problem with it as long as I work on the grid :)

hmmm..it should work fine.

In versions I simply mean the first or second release of the mohr. The second supports Spearhead.

CSG works fine most of the time

Hey I just wanna say that I have 512MB and a 2GHZ Processor and also when I open textures, it just closes the program down. I am using the second version on radiant. I had to learn to save everytime I want a new texture.

Unfortunately i think peeps tend to overuse the CSG subract and never think about lining it all up when done. Lately I have helped a few others on thier maps i see tons of tiny lil useless brushes due to improper use. And after pounding my head on the walls several million times trying to make them understand i just said ok screw it and now i know 2 things. 1) i am a bad teacher 2) CSG subtract is the DEVIL :evil:
