if you mean this ???? .

here is the test wall which need a hole

create a new brush and place it in the wall like this

then select it , rightclick and press "carve"

then select the brush again and remove it
then it looks like this

never use carve, it will just cause so many errors (max_leaf_faces, and higher r_speeds) , just use clip tool to make a hole....also dont use Vertex Manipulation unless you are not a noobie mapper, personally, i never use it even tho i dont consider myself to be a newbie mapper

Even the clip tool has its faults I had on some cases had it cut something out leaving me with a leak damn you clip tool! ;(

I don't think the carve will be that bad for the shape he is using it for. But when you get into like pyramids .

I think those are integrated into the map....but there is a way with the trees....

Use env_model and youre done,just be sure to set it to the right height....
