You need to demolition part of existing wall. I mean, you need to select existing wall, split it at the end of the new door and that part of wall you need to assign to be demolished status. Then

Go to renovation filter options and in existing plan select "existing plan" and "elements to be demolished" SHOW
(You need to see demolition part of wall on existing filter)




Now when you go to planed status you will see what you want to see
(if you need help to setup filter settings in renovation filter, write)

Giuseppe:

Another way is to add an Empty Opening to the existing wall that matches the height of the new window, but its width is just in the existing wall, and set its Reno Status to New. That way it does not show under the Existing Filter, shows a portion of the wall to be demolished under Demolition, and cuts the existing wall under New.
