Meaning: The member's frame connection was converted to a seated connection from another connection type without first re-initializing the frame connection, resulting in improper placement of the seated connection. This is an internal software failure where the software did not re-initialize the frame connection as an unsupported frame connection first.

Recovery:

  1. Open the Structure task.

  2. Click Select .

  3. Set the Locate Filter to Frame Connections.

  4. Select the frame connection in error.

  5. Select More from the Connection box on the ribbon.

  6. Click Seated in the tree view.

  7. Select the seated connection that you want (top, bottom, left, or right).

  8. Redefine the end location of the member.
