Meaning: This can happen for two reasons:

  • A member or its end moved.

    -OR-

  • An assembly connection was pasted. A member with an applied splice assembly connection might be moved such that the supported and supporting members are no longer parallel. A splice assembly connection can be copied and pasted where the two members are no longer collinear or end connected. It is possible to paste a splice assembly connection into a condition where the two members are parallel and the ends meet, but frame connections at the ends of the meeting members might be unsupported, which placement does not allow. The paste will succeed in this condition; however, if one of the members is moved at a later time then this error appears because the other will not follow due to the missing collinear frame connection.

Recovery: If the members should be collinear then the incorrect member must be modified such that they achieve the collinear condition again. If the members are correctly placed, then delete the splice connection:

  1. Open the Structure task.

  2. Click Select .

  3. Set the Locate Filter to Member Assembly Connections.

  4. Select the splice connection in error.

  5. Click Delete Delete CLASSIC ICON.
