I'm trying to drill a hole in the railing wall.

1. When working with the opening tool, opening should not be turned off in the MVO in the structural drawing.
The lower part of a window is an opening in the lower wall.

2. If Window is empty, the window is removed from the MVO in the structural plan, but it is not removed.

1).

I wouldn't model the railing with openings.

But if you did, you should be able to drag any or all of the openings in plan, elevation or 3D.

 

I would model one long wall along the base, and then add shorter walls above for the piers and end walls.

Add railings in the gaps.

 

2).

For level of detail (LOD) of doors and windows, you can only display as full, simple or schematic in elevation and 3D and various levels of detail in plan.

 

As construction elements in MVO you can show entire door/window, opening only or hide in plan and for openings (with the opening tool) you can show symbol, opening only or hide.

These options only affect the plan view.

An empty window is still a window - you will always see the opening except you have the option to hide it in plan only.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to do.

What MVO setting is the issue?

Question 1. How do you make such an uneven wall?

in floor plan

in structural plan

If you turn off opening in mvo

Question 2. I made it with the opening tool, so one of the windows in the stairwell is related to the lower floor, so I have to turn it off with MVO.
If you don't turn it off, it will look like the image below.

How do you work?

Question 3. So I worked with window empty.
However, when I turn off the window in the structural drawing, window empty does not turn off.

In other words, if you ask
Question 1. Is there any way to drag only one of the 5 openings in this plan view?
no upper

Question 2. Why can't window empty be turned off in MVO?
If there is a way to turn it off, please let me know.

That works too.

I would do it this way.

Easier to just adjust the spacing / size of the top parts if you need to.

In the floor plan, I have to draw everything with the Line Tool, right?

No.

You have a Floor Plan Cut Plane (FPCP) height.

You set the wall's Floor Plan Display to be 'Symbolic' if you always want to see them as the composite was created (basically a cut view).

Or you set the wall's Floor Plan Display to be 'Projected with Overhead', and you can control the overhead and uncut line types in the wall settings.

Uncut lines (if the wall is below FPCP) can be solid and overhead lines (walls above FPCP) can be dashed.

Walls that pass through the FPCP will appear as being cut (same as if set to 'Symbolic').

 

You can also set the wall to be 'Projected' - you won't see it if it is above the FPCP.

Or you can make it 'Outlines only' (uncut) or 'Overhead all' which means it will use those line types regardless of the height to the FPCP.
