Robot Structural Analysis - There are no nodes on the floor plane

Good day,

I've been struggling with this error in Robot Structural Analysis. I've done tons of seismic models and all of a sudden this error pops up and I can't solve it. The error reads "There are no nodes on the floor plane. It is impossible to apply forces in the static seismic analysis case". I would like to conduct the classic ELF method.

So far I've gone and ticked the option to automatically generate a node at the center of gravity of each story of each floor. I've redefined the floors as panels as well and tried to analyze as shells, renamed and redefined stories.

I'll be greatly appreciative if anyone has any insight into this. I've been though Ken Marshes book on RSA as well and there's no mention of this error.
