Depends what you mean for a hole in a wall. A simple decoration or a path?

I'd suggest that you start by examining some simple maps like doom2 map01 for example. Look at how the openings, doors, windows are made. Pay attention to the sector floor and ceiling heights and where textures are put (lower, main, upper sidedefs). Then apply what you've observed to your own map.

First of all, are you making your walls correctly? I've seen new mappers use sectors to make walls (puting the floor u pt the ceiling or vise versa). Walls in Doom are just voids; areas between sectors with nothing in it. To make a hole, just add a sector connecting the two rooms that this "hole" is supposed to go to.

It's attached to the ceiling because your texture is smaller than the height between the floor and the ceiling. To put it on the floor, either do it manually with the offsets on both sides, or set the texture flag of "Lower wall Unpegged". Also, you may have not closed the sector correctly. Upload the map so one of us can check it.

Anybody who knows how to use the imageshack thumbnails properly deserves some help. :)
Here is a quick hole (window) in the wall.

And good to see you around, Biff.
