As you can see this load case has no roof Live Load and its Duration Factor is 1.00. You can also see that the Dead Loads from the knee wall and the dormer trusses have not been added and that the floor Dead and Live Loads have not been extended. Under these circumstances, it is easier to copy the modified Attic Std. Ld. Load case and then edit the copy to delete the appropriate loads. Start by making the Attic Std. Ld. load case Current. Next, copy the load case: 1. Select the Copy Load Case icon from the Loading Toolbar 2. Enter a New Description for the load case. I used "Dead and Floor Load". 3. Select the OK button to create the new load case and close the dialog box. First, let's change the Duration Factor: 1. Make the new load case active 2. Select the Modify Load Case icon 3. Select the Duration Factor tab, change both fields to 1.00, then select the OK button to apply the change and close the dialog box.
