Solid Element Operations

For a roof taht has a cut out - you do it with a solid element operation and subtract. It deletes in 3D, elevations etc, but not on roof plan, why?

Perhaps you did not include the roof as one of the targets?

Solid Element Operations do not show in 2D (floor plan).
There is a long standing wish for this to happen.

Just select your roof, and with the roof tool active draw the shape of your cutout. No need for SEO (unless you want profiled sides or something).
