Partial udl

is it possible to have a partial udl applied to the beam? the loading symbol with 3 down arrows allows the udl to start at any point on the beam, but defaults to extend to the end of the beam rather than part way along.

HI,

I guess that this is what you mean?

You can change this by selecting the L to define the length of the load

Hope this will help,

thanks - yes that’s what i mean.

i haven’t seen that window before - i always use the tables, which don’t allow partial udl - but i’ve now found that it’s a simple double-click on the load.

that’s very useful.

Great!!
Best regards
