    @sillypandasmile Hi! Usually that error shows up when you have a wall intersecting the spot where you're trying to place the window.  In your images, I don't see a wall in the room behind that window you're trying to place.  Is there maybe a half-wall we can't see?  It also looks like you have the shortest wall height and the spot where the window is shown is the highest point.  Is there perhaps a wall on the second floor that is interfering?  It looks like you were able to place windows on the other side of the room but they're at the lowest part of the wall.  Maybe increase the wall height if you want to place the windows higher.  Also make sure there are no interior walls intersecting the points at which you want to place your doors and windows.
