Roof Geometry Hidden in Bonsai v.0.8.1

in General

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!

    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
