However the program lumps all skip loading scenarios into one load combination (Num 5 in the attached picture).

It looks like the combinations were generated incorrectly. Did you select &quot;Continuous Beam Combo Generators&quot; as marked below before generating the combinations? This should create individual combinations for each skip loading.</p> <p><img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/RE-Skip-Load-Combinations.png" /></p> <p>Yes, your understanding of the skip loading percentage is correct.</p> <p>There is not a way to model weak axis loads in the continuous beam module. You will need to use the main RAM Elements program to analyze and design for that type of load.</p> <p></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
