The element exceeds geometric limits of the story

[Anonymous]

Hi,

After I assign manually the story of my columns, I get this error: The element exceeds geometric limits of the story.

If I let it assign automatically, I get: The element is not assigned to any story...

What gives?

Check which element and assign it manually.If it is longer \ higher than defined  \ assigned story you will get that message about exceeded geometric limits.

The problem is that I have columns that stretch over 3 stories, and I can't seem to assign them manually to any of those stories without getting this error message (red one, not ignorable):

"The element is defined outside the geometric limits of the assigned story"

The only way for this message not to appear is to define automatic story to those columns...

Is there any other way?

"The element is defined outside the geometric limits of the assigned story"

Ignore it = disable automatic verification in job preferences

Is there any other way?

Split  columns to "stories" bars

ok, using the divide command? dividing by a plane?

Yes

dividing by a plane?

Why not, or different option of divide

Steps:
1. Disable Automatic verification in 'Job Preferences'by going to the 'Meshing Option' then uncheck 'kinematic constraints in incoherent points'.
