What is correct way of modeling Partition Loads?

(OP)
Just wanted to know how you guys apply your partition loads. The way i did it was apply a 15psf "Super Dead" Load (Im only looking at ASD for this project so the load applied to dead or live wouldnt matter) and when i specify mass source, i give that load a factor of 0.67 to get it to the 10psf required for seismic. This way works for this project but that may not always be the case. Any input or suggestions are appreciated.
