Dissolver: edges remaining because of 3D geometry

Dear community,

I am currently working on FME Workbench 2025.0. My project take into entry areas in 3D that represent buildings roofs. It then spreads the data into two datasets: roofs and building using the latest ground footprint. 
In order to do that, I am using the 'Dissolver' Transformer with the Group Processing option on. My issue is that some of the edges inside the building are remaining because they do no fit on the Z axis (see screenshots below).

 

Dissolver operation: purple edges are classified as ‘Remanents’ after the operation, red one remain.
Result of Dissolver : on a 2D perspective, internal edges are remaining.
For better context: the result of the Dissolver from another perspective in 3D.

I tried to flatten the surfaces before proceeding to disolving the objects (these objects corresponding to 'Building' will be flattened at some point of the workbench anyway), but still the same edges are remaining. 

Thank you for your help.
