Fair enough question, and one that affects any subtractive process in Archicad.

What about any SEO operation where an operator is extra to the model?

Does anyone have the answer?
SEOs sometimes (but not always) export as "IfcOpening" (or something like that - ArchiCAD & Revit are both busy right now saving and importing IFC files, so I can't check it). It seems to work both ways. That is Revit wall to roof relations do the same thing.

In both cases they produce big ugly blocks that can be easily deleted (since they are so big and ugly) without any apparent ill effects.

Exchanging building model data used to be impossible, then became difficult. It still needs improvement but works acceptably for most purposes. The tools work, and new improved models are (always) just around the corner.

It would be nice to have an easier way to contour the top of a wall without having to make and hide extra parts. Especially curved ones (like landscape walls and some stair enclosures) since we still don't have proper curved roofs (or slabs).
