The following steps should be adjusted to meet the specifics of your condition. The Attic Std. Ld. Load case should be visible in the Current field before proceeding. 1. Select the Display LL and DL icon from the Loading Toolbar. The Live and Dead Loads are combined allowing them to be modified at the same time. 2. Select the Modify Uniform Loads icon from the Loading Toolbar. 3. Select the Uniform Floor Load on the Loading Diagram to access the Uniform Loads dialog box. The selected load changes color for visual verification. 4. Select the Apply and Change Location button. 5.
