      Hi everybody :

            I'm in the "Intermediate" class....trying to learn more about inserting window/door components into a single or double faced surface.   I simply drew a square. Pulled it a little.  Then I imported a window that I created. Made it a component.  Checked the "Glue to" box.....to "any".  Clicked the "create opening" box. Left the Replace component bot checked.   But, when I went to insert it into  the desired location, it wouldn't cut the opening.   But, the door component from the Architecture Library (3D Warehouse) cut the opening soon as I placed.  What's the difference between the premade window (3D Warehouse) and the window I created.   Obviously, I'm doing SOMETHING wrong....but what ?
