You will need to clarify your question a bit. How is it coded? What type of GDL element is it (ie. is it a generic object, window, etc)? What do you mean by "correctly"?

3D-PRISM_ How to define tiles and holes? To avoid excessive clipping? I am a GDL beginner. GDL treats the entire outer frame as a hole, causing the whole piece to disappear

You'll need to provide some more info than that.

What object is this? Did you code it? What's the goal?

Do you have any specific question? It's all very open ended right now and thus hard to give clear, constructive answers.

And depending on all the info you will provide the solutions can actually vary a lot.

Why not use the curtain wall tool?

if you are just wanting to cut the hole, you can use

this will just take the tile and do a big "Solid element operation" cut from them

Is this the sort of thing you are after?

I'm very sorry it took me almost four weeks to reply. The 2D and 3D code you provided was very helpful and gave me a lot of direction; it was invaluable because I couldn't achieve the compensation effect when cutting blocks and tiles. Thank you so much!

You understand what I'm trying to express!
