      I'm not sure the best way to explain what I want to happen, so I'll try and show with pictures!
      I've drawn a building with columns etc. on it. I've also drawn some separate window components. What I want to happen, is for the window to push back onto the building and cut out everything behind it. Is there a simple way to do it? Beneath the window, it has to cut away various objects and groups, not a simple surface. I know I can intersect it etc... but that will take a really long time.....

      Where I want the window positioned and to look like at the front

      How far back I want it to appear, without all the stuff poking through!

      Hope that makes sense, any help greatly appreciated!
