Use dummy areas (with area section "None") and assign area loads with "Uniform to Frame (Shell)...".
Use "One-way" or "Two-way" distribution depending on the design of your roof structure. Usually cladding is supported on roof purlins so "one-way" distribution (directed to the purlins) seems the proper option.
