Robot Volume 1 - Bevel

Hello,
Video 3 from Robot Volume 1 series:
Was wondering whether anyone could explain why some edges (highlighted by red) I was able to bevel and others (highlighted in blue) I was not (attached pdf). The strange thing was that if I rotated the object and selected the edge from inside the model, I was able to bevel - don't make sense. I am using Maya 2015. Look forward to hearing people.
Thanks

Not sure why that is happening if you would like send me the model you're working on david@simplymaya.com and i'll take a look at it for you and i'll then be able to tell you what's happening.
