Can Robot do automatic live load reduction for columns in multi storey building? If not, what is the best way of doing it?

I tried to edit the live load in the column live load tab, but it is not possible.

Thanks

I was looking for this functionality previously, I couldn't find it

I'm sorry but there is no such functionality in the current version of Robot. We will treat this as a suggestion for implementation of this functionality in the next versions.

The possible solution I can think of is to defined live loads on each of the floors as separate load cases and create combinations in such way that the live loads defined above the level of the currently designed columns have got reduced load factors.

Hi Artur,

please include this in our "wish" list. It will be much more easier for us.
