SEO not working for one operator only!

Hi there,
I'm quiet because I'm happy with AC. HOWEVER, here's a new one: I'm trying to SEO off the tops of my gable end walls with a roof...as you can see from the attached jpeg, one half of the roof works fine, but the other half just doesn't do anything...when I click the "execute" button with that air of finality, it thinks for a sec, and then there is no change. Did I somehow do something to my roof such that it can't act as an operator? Weird weird weird. Bizzarchicad. Any thoughts?
Thanks!!!

Unfortunately, SEOing a wall really goofs up the windows within the wall.
In ArchiCAD 9, I've found that a custom window in a wall trimmed with SEO will refuse to show its GDL defined section attributes properly. TrimtoRoof solved that problem, too. I haven't tested this in 10 yet.
Some doors and windows make some very questionable use of the GLOB_CONTEXT variable to check whether they are the operand in an SEO. This might make some sense except that they seem to inherit this value from the wall they are in, so it can cause some serious problems. I have found it necessary to edit the library parts in some cases to fix this.

I am curious that you say it is a custom window. Is this one you created from scratch or is it a standard unit which you have used to call a custom part?

This is one I am glad not to have caught. Just another fishy story?

But a reseller needs more than two suckers to make the quota.

From scratch. Completely separate window object of my own design , with section fills defined by SECT_FILL.
This was happening in an hugely complicated model in ArchiCAD 9. Just testing with simple walls didn't duplicate the problem. Again, reverting to trim-to-roof solved the problem. I'll test in ArchiCAD 10 and report back.
