Somewhere I've gotten the impression that the "turn to goo" spell is a
combat spell...

And even if it's a transformation manipulation, I would rule the same
way. If it were an elemental manipulation and generated something that
could then be directed against a specific target, then it would work. Or
if it were a specific transformation spell (turn closest building door to
goo), then I think it would work. But from everything I've seen I would
rule that he could not target specific parts of a structure.
