Advance Steel 2019 Embed Plate Connection Troubleshooting

[Anonymous]

Hello all, 

I am trying to create an embed plate connection for a steel beam bearing on parallel concrete wall using "Embed Beam Seat" connection under 'Miscellaneous' tab of connection vault. 

For some reason, the anchors that should stop at the beam bottom flange instead always stretch out all the way to the beam top flange - see attached image. Please advise on how to resolve this. Thanks!

The distance if the anchors is not enough. They are too close the web and therefore the clamping length try to use the whole beam. You should set the distance between the anchors a bit higher
