https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Solid-Element-Operations-Floor-Plans-and-the-Roof-Tool/m-p/709638#M179996 <P>Hi all,</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I have only just realised that SEO operations that impact the TOP face of a <EM>Roof</EM> are represented in the floor plan, just like they do for <EM>Morphs</EM> and&nbsp;<EM>Shells</EM>. Is there a way to disable this representation when the roof is shown overhead?</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Given the dynamics of the&nbsp;<EM>Morph&nbsp;</EM>and&nbsp;<EM>Shell&nbsp;</EM>tools I am not surprised that their representaion is just a projection for simplicities sake. But for the&nbsp;<EM>Roof&nbsp;</EM>tool, who's geometry is relatively simple it is odd. My issue has come about on a recent project that has a thatch roof and a concrete flat roof.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The thatch roof is done as a multi-plane roof with CP beams for the thatch overhang. This creates the correct 3D representation, but creates a mess in the floor plan... The short sides of the roof make it even messier... Maybe that is why in a model done by someone else 15 years ago that included thatch roofs, the roofs were all drawn as 2D lines and fills...</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Lingwisyer_0-1784777716970.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/103958i708B313BB0004308/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Lingwisyer_0-1784777716970.png" alt="Lingwisyer_0-1784777716970.png" /></span></P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Lingwisyer_1-1784778288906.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/103960i974FBB5D0543BAE7/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Lingwisyer_1-1784778288906.png" alt="Lingwisyer_1-1784778288906.png" /></span></P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Lingwisyer_2-1784779447673.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/103961i5F40A12069A4B3D3/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Lingwisyer_2-1784779447673.png" alt="Lingwisyer_2-1784779447673.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>The flat concrete roof has been modelled as a roof with offset SEO copies to form upturn beams and a ceiling recess for simplicities sake at an early stage given there was talk of possibly raking it, but now I have the top recess showing on the storey below...</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Lingwisyer_3-1784779778130.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/103962i3C1A9D53860BB166/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Lingwisyer_3-1784779778130.png" alt="Lingwisyer_3-1784779778130.png" /></span></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Ling.</P> Thu, 23 Jul 2026 04:16:12 GMT Lingwisyer 2026-07-23T04:16:12Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Solid-Element-Operations-Floor-Plans-and-the-Roof-Tool/m-p/709638#M179996 <P>Hi all,</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I have only just realised that SEO operations that impact the TOP face of a <EM>Roof</EM> are represented in the floor plan, just like they do for <EM>Morphs</EM> and&nbsp;<EM>Shells</EM>.
