Straight beam by start point - end point: operation failed, not a straight beam (using Dynamo)

From time to time, I receive this warning (image below) in Dynamo. The two points are clearly distinct, and there is no way to have a curved line anyway, since I am simply supplying two distinct points in space. What is strange is that the warning disappears when I close and reopen Advance Steel or when I make changes to the coordinates of the nodes.  Any idea what is causing this issue?

 

In order to prevent bothering the community further in the near future, the bigger question is: where can I find detailed documentation for Dynamo nodes for Advance Steel? This is all I found: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/advance-steel/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2022/ENU... , and the Github repository, and I find it hard to navigate since it provides only minimal information for each node.

Dynamo Primer is the best documentation - see Github. It is available in several languages ​​and as a pdf for download.

Thank you for your answer, but Dynamo Primer has no information about Advance Steel nodes (if I am not mistaken). I am having difficulties and lack of information related to Advance Steel nodes, not Dynamo in general. As an opensource effort I understand that the community itself is responsible for the documentation, but I am checking just in case there are some resources already existing out there.

it starts on page no. 77 in Primer ... look in Dynamo (plugin for Advance Steel) for possible nodes

I am afraid I am using the incorrect version of the Dynamo primer. The one I found on Github is this one: https://primer.dynamobim.org/en/Appendix/DynamoPrimer-Print1_3.pdf 

 

Is this the one you are referring to? Page 77 in the aforementioned document has content unrelated to Advance Steel. Thanks!

This is basically the same link I posted in my original post. So in short, the answer seems to be that there is not much more than this link available specifically for Advance Steel.

Unfortunately, not all nodes are well described, for some you have to look in Dynamo for the requirements for each input information
