Trim a wall

Hi, 

I'm working on a floor plan drawing sent to me by someone else. 

I am trying to edit the drawing to make new doorways but when I try to use the TRIM command, "Cannot TRIM this object" appears. 

I've used the FLATTEN command and made sure everything is on the same plane but still not having any luck.

 

Any suggestions?

Please and thank you

Which exact AutoCAD variant and year version are you using?
and what program created the floor plan you posted? It only contains blocks of "wall" sections and none of it is created in AutoCAD ARCHITECTURE. or any AEC content that AutoCADARCH can use.

I'm using AutoCAD Architechture 2019. 

Not sure what it was originally drawn on and neither does the guy who sent it over, so that is probably the whole issue.

Is there any way around this?

No, the file you posted is literally useless for AutoCADARCH editing using AEC tools/commands like doors etc.
You have an old-school drafting task ahead of you (explode, trim, copy etc.) if you recreating the file is not a viable task.

Hi All,

Thank you for your help. I solved the problem by deleting the color fill in the walls and i was able to trim and redraw some parts then.

Regards
