Solid operation object into wall

Michael
Contributor
Having completed a successful library object, we have tried to use it as the operator to subtract an opening in a vertical wall plane.

The objects depth extends on both sides of the wall surfaces.

However upon execution of the operation the desire result of a hole in the wall does not materialize.

What are we missing?

Screenshot? Preferably a 3D view showing the wall and the object?

Does your object have a relevant zzyzx parameter ? I had some problem with old library parts not using this "standard" parameter and SEO wouldn't work... I had to make use of it for SEO to work

You can also make the operator layer wireframe, if it helps.
