      Can you create a window / door component that cuts through lines? I have a belt course of brick on a building I'm modeling and the easiest way for me to create that is lines on the surface to segment the texture. This is fine untill I place window components on the wall and it doesn't cut through the lines. I then have to break the belt course with lines everywhere there is a window. There are like 50 windows on the building so it can be a pain. especially if i want to move the belt course or windows. I know the "easiest" way would be to create a brick texture that has the belt course in it but I'm not very experienced at creating textures and I'd have to create multiple textures for where the pattern changes, not ideal. Any help is appreciated.

        A component can only cut hole on a single face so the short answer is: NO. You can have a couple of workarounds but in any case you'll need to invest some extra effort.

            HOWEVER,if you have an image with this course of brick ANYWHERE (there must be some with it on the top or something), you can always position that image...
