Using Edge Members in the Wind Load Generator

Now, it is possible to directly consider the effect mentioned above, using the combined wall/roof generator. To do this, select the "Do not load members common for roof and wall with wall wind loads" option in the Settings dialog box. Thus, the loads of vertical walls do not apply to the edge members, but they are distributed on columns, as shown in the figure. The edge member is loaded only by a part of the roof.
