Trim rooftop problems

Hello everyone I'm new in arhicad.

I have problem where I can't cut zones above rooftop windows. Roof is recognized as object while triming with option solid element operation, while rooftop windows are not recognized as object. I will attach an image url.

Thank you 😊

Hi,

 

Don't use SEO to cut the zone but the "Connect to Roof / Shell" command.

That will be it.

Skylights cut a hole in the roof, so when you use SEO, there is no roof at that hole to cut the zone.

Trimming to a roof uses the roof's trimming body which is not affected by holes made by the skylight.

Please attach images directly in message rather than a url link.
