I tried applying a floor load to an irregular floor plan like this. Am I doing it right?
It does not look good. Please attach that model for the investigation.
Sure. It's here. design-4.STD
Pardon if my model doesn't look nice. I'm still learning. I don't even know if my offsets and releases are correct.
I would recommend to create a separate floor group for each floor. Do not apply the floor load on many different floors at the same time. In your model, do not use group BASICF to apply the floor load. Instead, create several different groups for each floor and apply the Floor Load to each group individually.

I have another question if it's okay;
Is this floor load distribution correct for an irregularly-shaped plan?
Yes, looks reasonable.
