When I try to access it, Revit goes into the same freeze loop described above — no error message, no dialog, just locks up completely.
Every time I try to use any Steel Connections command (for example Plate, steel connection components, etc.), Revit immediately freezes and shows “Not Responding”.
When I open the Connections panel, the window appears completely blank, showing no available connections.
Expect crashes when using steel functionalities in Revit.
