RE: Floor Loads Applied Perpendicularly to a Sloping Roof

Hi AndrejLogunov,

Sorry for the late reply. Just got back to work.

Thank you for your reply, but I've already done it before. Floor load direction still appears to be aligned with the GY axis (not perpendicular with respect to the inclined set of members that form a panel(s)) whether I check the "Inclined Floor" or not. Maybe this is because the only options for directions available, as can be seen in the dialog box, are those along the Global Axes.

I'm just curious on how the "Inclined Floor" feature affects the floor load application. Hoping you can clear this up.

Thanks!!

Hi Eren Jaeger,

This option must be used when a FLOOR LOAD is applied on a set of members that form a panel(s) which is inclined to the global XY, YZ, or ZX planes.
To control the load direction, please assign the floor load to Floor group and check the One way distribution drop down list "Towards". Then select the appropriate beam to orient the loads in that direction.

Regards,

Andrej
