thread802-173968: How to define load combination

As you may know in the 2nd,3rd, and 4th load combinations we have Lr which is live load from the roof. Now, the question is how we can define these load combinations in ETABS?  

RE: Roof Live Load and Load combinations in ETABS

There is no roof live load category in ETABS. The only types of live loads are reducible and non-reducible.

I would calculate the actual reduced roof live load per ASCE 7 and define it as a non-reducible live load.
