New door in filled-in wall: any way to cut it out?

[Redrunner92]

I have a length of wall that has a door in the Existing phase. I have demolished the door and placed another, different door (it is a different size than the Existing door) in the same location. The filled-in wall area where the Existing door is located still shows a wall in the New phase even behind where the New door should cut out the wall area. Is there a way to cut the door out of the filled-in wall?

Neither the cut nor join tools work. And I can cut out a Wall Opening, but I'm wondering if there is another way which does not place another, separate element (the Wall Opening element) from the door. Having two elements will make coordination that much more difficult.

The filled-in wall is selected (notice the lack of Phase parameters in the Instance properties). Also notice the familiar shading on the door's bottom which indicates two objects overlapping--in this case, the door and the filled-in wall.

Demolishing an insert always generates an In-Fill (inherits the phase in which the insert was demolished). Placing a Wall in it should automatically generate an opening

Looking at the images you have posted

• The Phase filter of the view seems to be set to none or show all.
• You need to Change the Phase Filter of the view...

Try show complete

Select the new door and use Pick  Primary Host to toggle the host wall.

The phase filter was already set to Show Complete, no dice.

That did it, thank you.

Though just for the record if anyone else runs into this issue: there was at first no Pick Primary Host option; I used the Pick New Host button to move the door to the side slightly, still partially within the In-Fill wall. Then the Pick Primary Host button popped up because the door was technically within the areas of two separate walls. I used this button, moved the door where I want it to be located, and the host is now the In-Fill wall, and the opening is properly cut out of the wall.
