Beam intersections not working

Found again a bug in Rhino8 VA3 with beam intersections not working. I will attach the two file but they will most possibly work when you open them.

The behaviour is: beams are created but not intersected, even when VAupdated or copied/moved. But if you go to VA beam settings and change alignment type and back, intersections work. This happens ONLY when Rhino8 drops into a weird bug that makes UNDO impossible (you hit undo and nothing happens, the command bar prints “nothing to undo”)

If you reopen or save as the file, it opens correctly. Very weird.

Hi @flatform I can see the beam intersections are not working as expected. I think this is caused by the Absolute tolerance of your document, which is a bit too small (0.0001m). If you change it to 0.001m, select all beams and update them (vaUpdate), the beam joints are resolved.

They work with same tolerance when the Rhino undo back is not occuring though. Very strange bug and not easily replicable.
