STAAD.PRO Moving Load Generator Warning

Catherine Stanley — Tue, 06 Sep 2016 14:44:48 GMT

Good Morning!

I have attached my STAAD 2D model of a truss with a moving load generator which when run is giving me an warning message. The warning message reads "No Members in specified Vertical Range". The moving load is being applied to level and straight beams.

Can someone please provide some guidance? Thanks.
