Navigation:  Working With Beam Calculations > Beam Loads > Live Load Reduction > Navigation Overview for Live Load Reduction Controls

If ENERCALC for Revit detects one or more conditions from the above list that make the beam eligible for live load reduction, an additional tab for these controls will appear on the launch approval window.

In some unique framing conditions, a particular beam or girder may be subject to both live (LL) and roof live (LR) loads.  In such cases, both sets of options will be presented to the user during the calculation launch.

As with the other approval tabs in the launch window, looking ahead to the “LL Reduction” or “LR Reduction” tabs before the preceding approvals are complete will display the controls in a “disabled” grayed-out mode.  

These options automatically become available for user review and interaction after approvals have been furnished in the preceding tabs.

In any situation where the beam has loads eligible for reduction but the user does not wish to use these options, reduction may be skipped using the “Skip LL Reduction” or “Skip LR Reduction” buttons, as applicable.  The decision to skip reduction will be automatically applied on future launches of the calculation.

The decision to skip floor (LL) reduction does NOT automatically skip LR reduction, and vice versa.
