Aligned Dimension Lines not marking windows

I'm trying to set dimension lines along an entire wall that has windows. The dimension lines only mark the distance from one end of the wall to another, and does not mark the windows along that wall. I have it set to wall faces, entire walls, and openings at the center. Intersecting walls and intersecting grids are not checked. Does anyone know how to fix this, and make the window markings appear? Thanks.

I'm not sure what that is. I have inserted a picture of the wall below though.

Raise your View Range Cut Plane

...if you don't want to raise the Cut Plane, then dimension to individual references.  Or use a Plan Region. Do you know about those yet?

I raised the cut range and it worked. Yes, I know what the individual references are, but not the plan region. I will have to look into that in the future. Right now, I am following tutorials by "CAD in black" on youtube, as his course seemed to be the best, and most comprehensive, free option. Haven't gotten to the part where he explains more complicated stuff, which is why I had no idea what to do when the dimensions didn't work. Thanks for your help!
