Problem with loose flange collar connection

For my current project I'm using a pipe spec with loose flanges and collars with large lengths.

 

Large collarLarge collar

When trying to connect these collars directly to each other (remove the small straight length in-between), I get the following error message:

I tried to alter some things in the project settings under "piping connection settings", but didn't get the result I want.

Can someone tell me what I should do to be able to place these collars directly onto each other?

 

I also don't see a weld-dot between the collar and pipe, maybe that has something to do with it.. (yes, toggle weld display is set on :))

Hi @m.bevers,

 

Unfortunately it is not possible to connect the collars directly together without using a small connecting pipe:

Thanks,
