Saved library part does not show correctly in SE2011

I have been working on some objects for a template in SE2011 and get an odd thing happening as follows.
I take an inclined block object, amend its details to suit say a barge board, then save the selection to an embedded file.
When I try to use the object from the new file I get a small green dot only and no outline of the object on the model plan.
It is fine in elevations and perspectives etc, but because I only have a dot on the plan it is no good.
Can anyone advise please.

It is unlikely many of the usual suspects in this forum have SE2011 (small pool...).
If you have access to a full version, replicate your steps exactly, see if you get the same problem.

I downloaded a trial Archicad 17, and it works fine in that, so I guess its an issue with SE2011.

I have tried it again but now in windows 7 via bootcamp on my imac and I get a warning dialogue box as per attached screen shot, but I do not understand which "left brackets" are being referred to, or even if this is anything to do with it.

Could it be something in the Master Script.
I seem to recall that when the Master Script has content, its lines are counted as part of the other scripts since it is executed before them.
Just a guess, I haven't tested it.

There would appear to be script in the master script pane.
If I delete lines 16, 17, 18, and 19 it then warns of further errors in lines 188 etc etc and I don't know were these are.

Sorry last reply should have said there was NO SCRIPT in the master script pane.

I checked the GDL documentation and it says that the GLOB_CUTPLANES_INFO variable is an array. But it is a one-dimensional array whereas the script now shows it as a two-dimensional array. So it should look like this:
GLOB_CUTPLANES_INFO[1] =       1.1
GLOB_CUTPLANES_INFO[2] =       3.1
GLOB_CUTPLANES_INFO[3] =       0
GLOB_CUTPLANES_INFO[4] =       0
Please try to delete those [1] array indexes. Those make it a two-dimensional array and I believe they are unneccessary.
