Dear prevabs developers,
Hello, I think there is a serious bug when creating an I-beam section using the latest released prevabs 1.4.3.
Please find the attached figure.
The "T" connections to both the upper and lower baselines are not working.
However, I found that the previous prevabs 0.5 had an I-beam example, where the web segment is assigned a higher level.
Therefore, is there something I have mistakes on it? Or is there any examples to create an I-beam section using the latest prevabs?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
