RAM Concept - Lateral Self Equilibrium - user defined lateral nodal loads

In the RAM Concept Lateral Self Equilibrium [TN] discussion, at the very bottom of the page, there is a note that says, 

Note: Ram Structural System lateral loads will generally be exported to Ram Concept in a self-equilibrium state, but user defined lateral nodal loads, especially those that include vertical (z direction) forces will not be in equilibrium and as such, those should only be processed as Normal analysis loads in Ram Concept. 

 


I am currently modeling a structure and have this exact condition.  When I attempt to "Calc All", I receive an Analysis Errors for each of the user defined lateral nodal loads that I defined in RAM SS.  These loads do include z direction forces.  The Analysis Errors look like this:  

How do I ensure that these loads are processed as Normal analysis loads in Ram Concept as suggested in the note from the link?
