BIM-Subtract in elements cannot go throw more than one solid. Please Help me solve this problem

Hi, I'm very happy working with your Bricscad Bim,
although I encountered a problem when creating a skylight.
I used different layers of the roof for example I divide a layer of concrete, insulation ,paint.

I couldn't create a Bim subtract solid that could go through more than a constructed layer.
Here is an example:


Thanks in advance.

    No, such "Inserts", like Doors or Windows, will currently work on
    a single Solid only.
    (Although it was said that that multi cutting volumes are hard to
    program but it is thought about such Features)

    I think for a simpler Roof where there are no different "Floor" packages
    like in a Storie's different Rooms, going with a Multi-Ply Component Slab
    would be the easiest solution in that case.
    Otherwise I think I would cut holes manually and just insert simple Blocks.

    Or do your intelligent Auto Cut Volume cuts to the Roofs insulation,
    hide the Blocks and "Extrude" the concrete Slab from the resulting
    "Boundaries", provided by the Insulation cuts.

    Sorry, no, I think just "Holes" in a Solid will not provide Boundary Selections
    or even let you "Create Boundary" (?)
    Boundary Selections seem to only appear on a Solid's Face if there is a region
    surrounded by other touching Solids, forming a closed area.

  • Thank you for your replies.
    Eventually I extruded the concrete and paint slab manually.
    hopefully this feature will be fixed in future versions.

  • Yes, forgot about that.
    Of course you can use the Slab with the cuts or its boundaries
    to just "rebuild" the other Slab "Components".

  • Hi there,
    Just to let you know that we are currently working on the feature to subtract a component from multiple solids. Thanks very much for your feedback !

  • @Pieter Clarysse
    Really good news, I look forward to it.

  • I'm really excited,
    that would open a lot of freedom and possibilities.
