Hello all I am having a problem for adding frame. I have a scissors system so that my framess are crossing each other with a middle point pin connection to each other. So that I am trying to add a frame to with different point names at the same coordinates . However, the api takes the previously defined point at the node. While defining the coincident node, I turned on the Mergeoff and I can see the point is there.

So to make it clear with an example


Point1=(0,0,0)
Point2=(1,0,0)
Point3=(0,0,0)
Point4(1,2,0)

Frame1=(Point1,Point2)
Frame2=(Point3,Point4)


However in the end in Sap2000 Model I get
Frame 2 is defined by Point 1 to Point 4 . Can you help on this ? Thank you
