I've had a problem in Robot where I modify the geometry of a panel manually (click on the panel, then in object inspector click "geometry", then use the table function to modify).
After I click "accept" and the panel then visible chages shape on the screen, it automatically becomes a Curtain Wall, thus loosing it's finite element properties...................
Is this a common error reported?
I think it may be similar to what AlexOpus is experiencing..........

Tony,
This is the kind of change that I do very often and it has never happened (I have also tried this now). Please send me the file where this happened and tell me which panel you edited.

Strangely enough the problem does not seem to occur at the moment. New service pack maybe?
Anyway if I notice it again I will let you know.
Cheers,
Tony

Thanks, but I don't think this is why. It was defaulting back to a curtain wall, which is a panel by definition anyway.
