Hello. Need to make a solid el. op. using extrution both up and downward. If I do on after de other, the first result just loses the opertation itself. Any ideas? Thanks!!!

Did you script the skylight object?

If so you can add a PRISM that extend above and below the skylight and have it so it is only active when a Solid Element Operation is activated.

The PRISM itself will never show but it will cut what ever it passes through.

 

if GLOB_CONTEXT > 40 and GLOB_CONTEXT < 50 then
PRISM_ ......
endif

 

Otherwise if it is a standard skylight and you placed it with the skylight tool, it will cut a hole in the roof and if those tiles are a roof accessory, it should cut those as well (I can't say I have tried it though - I never model roof tiles).
