Create Opening from Selection - Windows & Doors cutting through walls (that they aren't in)

I'm switching my template over from the USA Doors and Windows to the INT Doors and Windows. I am horrified to discover that the trim on the INT Windows and Doors don't interact with walls they intersection with (such as when you have a second wall wrapping your building for siding or interior tile). I'm going to stick with the INT Windows and Doors because I assume the USA Doors and Windows are never getting updated ever again, but this failure of the library and Archicad will cost me a couple of hours of time per project.

 

Here's an old post talking about the issue. https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/quot-create-openings-from-selection-quot-not-working/m-... It makes sense that the issue is related to Wallhole not extending beyond the face of the window.

 

Doors and Windows need to work with Create Opening from Selection.

It is super great to be able to Create Opening from Window / Door, however the door / window and the opening remain unassociated.

I wish if once I used the Design > Connect > Create Opening from selection function, the source door / window and the created opening were linked similar to Solid Element Operations, so that if I change the door / window, the Opening would adjust to the new size of Door / Window.

 

After all, this command suggests Connection between the elements!

 

There is a similar wish already, but not expanding quite well on the topic.
Probably the 2 wishes should be merged to get enough likes?

Windows/doors connected to multiple elements like the way openings function would be great. Not only would it solve the issue referenced in my wish, it'd unify the way the door, window, opening, skylight (assuming we fix that too) tools all work. There's no reason they shouldn't all have the same functionality.

Absolutely right!
