Looks to me like your roof might actually be a complex profile wall or beam.
In that case you need to make its priority strength stronger than the walls otherwise the walls automatically cut a hole in the 'roof' (which you will see if you select it).
Because there is a hole there is nothing for the SEO to use to cut with.
Make the 'roof' stronger than the vertical walls so it passes through them and then the SEO will work.

imxxx,

I need to ask you to refrain from using this "Help, please, urgent" and similar phrases in your posts, and especially refrain from posting a brand new post after your initial post and writing this "Help, please, urgent" only in it. I have deleted such posts in other threads since this was at least the 3rd or 4th time you did this.

I am sure your work is important and you need help. People on this forum are very knowledgeable and are willing to help. But participation on this forum is on a voluntary basis and I don't think people take it very well reading such urging messages from anyone, especially one who is demanding help in such a manner.

So, post your questions and hopefully someone will be able to help you.
But please do it in an acceptable manner.
