Additional Information

The error is expected as the distance variable value 1000 Meters has a space in between. Add the Calculate Value tool to the model to remove the space. For example, the expression: "%Distance%".replace(" ", "")) and then use the output of the Calculate Value tool as the inline variable substitution.

Workaround

Remove the Distance variable and create a new String variable stating '1000 Meters'. Attach this as a precondition to the Generate Points Along Lines tool. Change the inline variable in the output of the tool from %Distance% to %String%. When running the tool, the error message no longer returns. If a space is added in the string variable between 1000 and Meters, the error message returns again.
Adding a Calculate Value tool as a precondition to remove the space also resolved this. To do so, add the Calculate Value tool, and in the expression, add "%Distance%".replace(" ",""). Change the output of the inline variable to be %Value% in place of %Distance%.
