    It is a limitation of the terrain tools that spaces defined by invisible walls are ignored and terrain-ed over (this has been true since the tool was first added).
    The solution is to enclose the space with a closed poly-line - then convert to a "Terrain Feature - Hole in Terrain" or draw a Terrain Feature and check it to be a "Hole in Terrain" which will then remove the offending terrain where you do not want it.
    Detractors/naysayers call this a "Work-around", I call it a "Solution" to a problem.
