End Point Reference of Beams Generates Zero dimension Value in the Segment

[AGYEMANG.OFOSU]

In generating dimension using point reference of beams, zero dimension values are generated. The GetEndPointReference results in two references at each end which leads to zero values at that point. A solution to filter to one reference point will be helpful.

I suggest you check the distance between the XYZ points before adding the corresponding references to your list. Ensure that the points are unique with a certain minimum distance between them. Otherwise, skip the corresponding reference.

The issue is, the reference of say GetEndPointReference(0) has two references in reality and thus generate zero value. but the distance between GetEndPointReference(0) and GetEndPointReference(1) is correct without problem. How do I go about that?

Ignore the one that generates a zero value?

Thanks a lot. One of my loops was giving me a false impression of a double reference from the same point.
