Whenever I open the IFC file the roof geometry is hidden, this happened when i changed my bonsai version. The roof object is there in the Outliner, it appears when a new roof of same type is added or if we edit the roof from Outliner. The Roof type preview is also missing. The geometry is visible in Bimvision. Is this a bug or should I change the settings? Attached the files and screenshots, Thanks in advance!
@arunarchitect
odd, to show your roof I selected it from the Outliner and clicked on the Representation (I also assigned "Roof" material to it)
but when I save the model it doesn't show
since you have this roof as an IfcRoofType I unlinked the object (making it just a mesh) and used IfcElement Roof instead
file attached
but I still don't know what went wrong in the first place..
I had a very similar sounding issue with a window that I raised an issue for: https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/issues/5880

Thank you! Now the roof appears, but the challenge is that I cant easily edit the roof structure as before if needed.
OK, this time around I removed the void in the roof and it looks OK, still editable, please try

aah yes, it works now. the void is the culprit here : ) . sad part is that : ( actually I wanted that void in the roof geometry. Thank you for helping @steverugi
