Hi! 

I got an Issue and would be happy to know if anyone knows a quick fix.

When working with the Solid Element operation It sometimes doesn't remove everything of the element. Hope someone can help!

A few things you might try/check out:

  • Change the "Trimming Body" setting within your roof (it's under the MODEL tab group). There's only two options, but changing this may work better for your geometry.
  • Check out the priorities of your building materials. That could be preventing some geometry from going through the roof at all, then not getting cut by your SEO.
  • If it comes to it, you may need to adjust the layer intersection groups for the elements involved in this condition (for example make your walls and roofs different intersection groups).
