Hi,
When assigning a Structural Element/Beams I am having a problem with snapping to the end node correctly.
Robot only wants to snap to a point with the same Z value and thus perpendicular to the start node. So the end node will have the same X and Y values but will be located directly above or below the selected node.
This is a big headache when the nodes are really close but not on the same node. Thus not providing a connection between members or completing a panel.
My way around it would be to lay the member and then have to click on the member to move it back up/down to the correct node.
I have noticed that this is not a problem when BARS but I would like to know why it is happening for STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS.
I have attached some screen shots to help clarify my problem.
Regards,
Richard

I'm not sure if I understand the situation correctly but assuming that you want to define a bar between two nodes with different Z coordinates try to switch off the horizontal beam check box in the Beam definition dialog or use the Bar definition one.
