https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/201026/separate-steel-self-weight-of-columns-from-dlHey, is there a way to separate the self-weight of the column from the DL takedown, I just want to know the total DL excluding the self weight of the column itself?

If your question is related to STAAD.Pro, you may assign the selfweight command to all members excluding the columns and the statics check would give you the total weight&nbsp;without the columns.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
