All Load Types in Concept Mode (Feature 106)

This feature allows for the entry of all load types to concept mode, not just live and dead loads, and the tracking of these loads throughout the structure, reconstructing load combinations on supporting members.

You are now able to enter Dead, Live, Snow, Wind, Roof Live and Impact loads, similar to beam and column modes.

Loads of the new types are distributed independently through the structure as unfactored loads via the load type reaction component at supports. The reactions at the base of columns are now shown for all load types separately.

In previous versions of Sizer, if a live load was on the top level in concept mode, it was treated as a snow load during analysis. This has been removed, as snow load entry is possible. Sizer converts live loads on the roof from files from previous versions to snow loads.
