Area Loads

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Equivalent linear loads mapped from Revit area loads may be modified in some (but not all) of the same ways that a basic linear load may be.  This includes modification of the area load magnitude and addition of new cases, but not editing of the extents and tributary width.  These are geometric properties derived from the physical conditions found in the Revit model.  Manual changes to these geometric properties will cause the associated Revit beam element to remain in a warning state until re-calculated with accurate loading information.  Similar to other loads, populating an empty case with a new magnitude will cause a new corresponding area load to be created on the associated floor in the Revit model.
