I am trying to add a window to a model of a house, but it is not working how I think it should be. The window is a component that I have made (apparently incorrectly).

The house has walls that are 10" thick and I would like for the window component to cut through that. I have seen lots of other threads talking about this issue and I have followed the advice given but to no avail.

In my drawing, I have another window that works exactly how I want it to and I am able to toggle the layer visibility on/off and the window will show up (and cut through the wall) and then disappear again (leaving the wall intact).

Here is an image to help explain how I would like it to work. The bay window is the window that does not work. The boxy portion before the glass is the same depth as the wall, and I would like that to be set into the wall.

Here is my Sketchup file: Google Drive

Side Note: Please let me know if I should be posting this elsewhere - I followed the advice of
this thread.

Thanks.

When creating the component you must enable "Cut Opening". Otherwise your component does not knock out faces at the same place. Also try to add a transparent backing glass.

Still no help? A workaround:

place the component carefully
select and copy it to the clipboard
goto Edit > Intersect faces > With model
delete your component
delete the just appeared rectangles from your wall surfaces
paste in place

About the layers: In SketchUP the layers are only display groups. The interactions between the objects does not depend on the layers.

Look at these quides:

I couldn't open your file because my SketchUP is 2 years old. I can't take the new one because it does not accept my old computer & OS.
