RISA-3D Moment reaction is double the member moment at the base

I have a simple cantilevered column system, and the node reactions spreadsheet is showing an MZ of 282 kN-m. When I go into the detailed report for that member, the moment is 141kN-m. I can't for the life of me figure out why this would be doubled. The support is fully fixed against rotation and translation.

EDIT: Mods please delete this thread I am big dumb and duplicated the member over itself with the loads.

Can you post screenshots as I'm not familiar with Risa. I guess which results makes sense? With a cantilevered column system, it should be possible to back check what moment value you would expect. Do you see the same discrepancy with the shear results?
