I have a 1-story building that has snow loads; I've told RAM to consider snow loads and not roof live loads. I've defined and put in all my flat roof snow loads and drifts but I also have snow line loads and snow point loads; these are from higher architectural roofs that will have snow and sit on my roof structure. What is the appropriate way to enter these loads? I have been defining them at "Live Load - Unreducible" which I thought was right but when I look at column results I see that I have a 1.2DL + 1.6LL + 0.5RF load cases controlling which isn't correct considering I have no LL on my building.
