Apply loads to loadcases on completion of the snow wizard
On completion of the snow wizard loadcases will have been set up for four types of snow load - namely
- balanced or undrifted snow load (even UDL)
- unbalanced or drifted snow load (wind blown leeward and windward UDLs)
- valley drifted snow (wind blown VDLs on the two adjacent slopes in a valley)
- local drifted snow (VDL on UDL - snow load blown against a parapet, eaves step or object)
If working to the US or EC regional code - loads in the unbalanced or drifted snow loadcases have to be applied manually as uniform snow, valley snow, or local drift snow loads.
If working to the AS, BS, or IS regional code - loads in all snow loadcases have to be applied manually as uniform snow, valley snow, or local drift snow loads.
Note: Any snow loads that are not appropriate for the selected loadcase cannot be
selected.

You can apply user overrides for snow load values and drift lengths, if necessary.
