STAAD PRO Connect 22.05.00.131 - When moving a group of plates to attach to another group, after the move the GUI asks to remove duplicate nodes. When you remove the duplicates, the plate connectivity gets screwed up. Having to fall back on V8i to do these moves.
Would you be able to attach the related STAAD.Pro model and tell us the steps you've taken which were leading to this issue?
Open model M1.std. Highlight plates on left. Press F2 and enter 2 to shift plates to attach to plates on right.
Plates move and appear correct. STAAD asks to remove duplicate nodes. When duplicate nodes are removed plates get messed up. See results in M2.std8875.M1.STD1777.M2.STD
When a 'List of Duplicate Nodes' dialog appear, click on the 'Retain' button instead of 'Remove All Duplicates'. This operation should take care of duplicate nodes without messing up the plates.
