I am trying to subtract from an enclosed vector but I cannot find an option to do this in Affinity Photo.  I can do this in PS CS5, I tried doing this in Affinity Photo but I do not see a subtract from mask option.  The window on the house vector is an example of what I am trying to accomplish, I watched all the vector cropping Affinity videos but I couldn't find anything about subtracting from a vector mask.  If you know how this can be done please let me know, thanks!

You can do this using the boolean ("Geometry") options. Attached is an example house vector.afphoto file with a "(Curves)" object created by subtracting four rectangle shapes from the house shape, & a similar one with a "(Compound)" object made the same way except that the four rectangles were compounded by holding down the alt/option key & using boolean Add, & then subtracted from the house shape by holding down the alt/option key & using the boolean Subtract.
