Try selecting Tools->select-leaky surfaces and seeing if anything is selected. It may be too much to fix so I'd suggest making the shape you want and moving that into position to replace the 'wall' where you want the hole area.
you are right ... 2026 surfaces with leaky edges (which means?) ... it means that a lot of functionalities will not work ? is there a rather quick fix ?

Will all my X-plane sketchup .obj export when ac3d re-imported will be the same ?

Best,
