i didn't understand the boolean tool. Look at the picture. I clicked on boolean. I made reference. Selected my exterior, and then??
Note: didn't select the exterior in the pic.

looks right so far, now you just need to boolean out the inside, then remove the un needed faces.

Then i Connected another box with the exterior that i created for the roof. You got the roof when you bolean out your box. i got a hole.

when i imported door_0, i deleted a bunch of stuff from it, and grouped the two main meshes yes.

door_bool is my box i used to cut out the door, in case i decided to add another later, or whatever later...

commando+ is my scaling tool i used, it was located in some westwood gmax file all hidden and stuff...

change the bool mode from move to reference, then play around with the other options, i actually did an add, then moved the vertices down... check out some compound boolean tutorials on the web for gmax & 3ds (same methods).

although this tutorial is for 3ds, it works pretty much the same way, and will help you understand boolean.

I don't remember boolean ever being that complex. Normally you just place the cube where you want the hole, select compound objects then click "Pick opperand B", you may have to change the method to "Subtraction B - A or A - B" to get it to create the hole in the building rather in the cube.

the method i did with the boolean wasn't to cut it out, but to add it internally, so that i could build the door frame and still retain the door cutout box.
