Aron1:

One option is to use a Solid Elements Operation, in the Help files see: Virtual Building > Element Extras: TrussMaker, Solid Element Operations > Solid Element Operations. Simply: add an element (Wall or Slab in this instance) that covers the part of the Wall to be subtracted, use it as an Operator to Subtract the Target (Wall), then place the Operator on a hidden layer (do not delete it). For Walls this will affect the 3D Model, but not the 2D plan view.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

It is a little difficult to see in your image what it is that you want to accomplish for sure.

It seems that you have a wall running into your arched opening to the left of the stairs, and that you want a partial arch ending at the opening, rather than the full arch which is leaving the odd piece of wall?

The best method is to create a custom shape for your opening, as David suggested - deleting the arched opening that you placed in that wall. Create a section through your model to draw the desired shape. You can create a Morph with the new Morph Tool right in the section ... and then in 3D, drag the 2D Morph and extrude it to penetrate the wall... then do a Solid Element subtract.

Or, you can create the shape in the section to be used with a Complex Profile.

Either way... this article will help you:

(The article was written before the Morph Tool became part of ArchiCAD.)

So so good you say, because first I made a hole on the stairs in the shape of a semicircle and then I did the second door.
I will try to apply to your advice but it is a little complicated
