Thank you Matt the issue is not defining the data type, the problem I'm facing is trying to let softimage treat my customOperator as one that is changing topology. one of the advice I found online was defining the first parameters on that operator as "siClassIfTopo", that method is valid for the object model but not in the c++ signature.
