Connect Intersecting Members

Hi,

I'm trying to connect two intersecting members within the same plane together using the connect intersecting members & joints tool. It doesn't appear to work on my model. What would be the reason for this?

    Hi Kendrick,

    We have found that this type of operation (particularly in the case where you have relatively closely spaced joints) can be sensitive to the model tolerance used. The model tolerance is specified in the Integrity Checks dialogue, found in the Geometry Window—>File—>Integrity Checks.

    You may want to try reducing your model tolerance, and attempting this connect intersecting command again.
