Form-Finding Integrated Lines
Answer
This is most likely due to the quadrangle surfaces you created. In the case of curved surfaces, it is not possible to automatically integrate the objects that rest in the surface.
However, you can integrate them into the surfaces manually. Tips for this can be found in the linked technical article.

Integrating Objects in Quadrangle Surfaces
In RFEM, surfaces are automatically connected if they have common boundary lines. In the case of quadrangle surfaces, however, automatic object detection would be relatively complex.

- It seems that the members stay not deformed after my RF‑FORM‑FINDING calculation. What did I wrong?
- How do I model a tent roof with two cone tips?
- How do I model a suspended membrane roof structure with line supports?
- How is an inflatable object simulated in RFEM?
- A cable structure model created in RFEM 5.13 cannot be calculated in the current version of the program. The program displays the message "Stiffness matrix is singular", although it could be calculated in the original version. How can I fix this?
- How is it possible to create the cutting pattern geometry for a decorative sticker on a biaxially curved membrane roof?
- Why does the form-finding not work for the "Cable on Pulleys" member type?
- How are the properties of the elasticity and shear modulus of a membrane fabric with the usual force/length syntax transformed into the general force/surface syntax to be entered in RFEM?
- I cannot define the prestress separately for warp and weft in RF‑FORM‑FINDING. How can I activate it?
- How can I influence the sag of the found shape in RF‑FORM‑FINDING?
