After dragging the clipping line where you want it, press enter to apply the clip. I also suggest you click the Carve Tool three times before using so that part of the wall doesn't disappear.

You messed up CARVE and CLIP
Clipping uses lines and is a good tool to use.

Carve doesn't need lines, you just let a worldbrush go through another one (parent), then you select the worldbrush, press [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[C] And you carve out the shape from your parent. as mentioned before, only use this for simple shapes (squares) because it might screw up your entire brushwork. I prefer to stay away from this tool as much as possible myself. As I said before: Clip can do the same thing too and it's just a lot cleaner, since you have total control over where the cuts will be made

Ah, crap.

That is the usual example given of a bad time to carve. It'll screw up your brushes if you do.
I'd recommend clipping around the object, but not deleting anything until you've clipped all the way around the object. Then, delete the middle part and you'll have the hole. Also, to keep your clipping from extending across the entire wall, I'd recommend clipping but not deleting a smaller brush around the object.

How do clip around an object?
