Djordje: Your latter comment seems to corroborate with Barry Kelly's advice. Why is it better to do the SEO with a copy of the same mesh instead of a convert mesh to roof?

I looked in some folders in add-on and I don't have it there and I looked if I have something like that for option somewhere in archicad but I couldn't found it. So can someone tell me where can I find this? Or is there any other way to convert a mesh into a roof?
what you could also do is use the 'mesh to roof' add-on to convert your mesh into roof elements. depending on its complexity this could either work for or against you. if you haven't already loaded it as an add-on, go to Tools>Add-On Manager... and then 'Search for more Add-Ons...'. the 'mesh to roof' add-on can be found in the /Graphisoft/ArchiCAD 9 Folder/Goodies/ folder.
once loaded it should appear in your Tools menu as 'Create Roof from Mesh'. select your mesh and then use this command. the advantages (depending on the complexity of your mesh/roof) are that you can then start to use the roof accessories to achieve structural and finishes data quickly and easily . . .

Djordje: I suppose this kind insight comes with a lot of practice! I have been using some of the GDL objects contained in the object libraries which were included with the ArchiCAD installation discs. A good portion of the objects seem to 'disappear' from my project and a Missing Parts box asks to locate them. Why does this happen and how do I prevent this from happening?
