Skylight - not a boundary for SEO?

How come roof-windows isn't a part of the roof in the aspect of SEO? The roof is an operator, but the skylight does noe seem to be a part of that SEO.  Both windows have zones, but I hid the rightmost Zone for illustrating purposes..

 

Used the out-of-the-box skylight tool...

I don't know if this is the correct answer or not.

But I would assume it is because the skylight is cutting a hole of its own in the roof.

Therefore there is no roof in that location and the SEO does not work there.

 

Does it work if you use both the roof and the skylight as the operator for your SEO?

 

Besides that, isn't there an option for zones to trim to a roof without having to do a manual SEO.

I don't have Archicad running at the moment and rarely have to trim zones to roof, but I am sure it can be done without SEO.

The SEO does not accept skylight window as an operator. However, using trim elements to roof/shell did work, so I  guess that is the way to go!

 

Thank you!
