How do you correct the "incorrect definition of contour load"(pls. see attached screenshot)?Do you need to literally delete all the contour loads( I hope not, since it is really time consuming to do it again). Is there any way to correct this problem without deleting them,
It should be enough to correct the ones that are wrong either in the loads table or editing their properties. Without having the file it is hard to tell what is exactly wrong with the way they were defined
Also, regarding your answer on this thread, can you further explain your answer regarding ".....hour glass"

I had to correct several loads.
I Did it selecting each load , right click and " Load properties". Load types like Planar load 3P , linear 2P , linear on edges were edited fast and with no problem. But with Planar load 3P on contour I got the "incorrect definition" warning with every load I tried to edit.Solution was ,or editing it through the load table ,or creating the load again.
I made a small video showing that it happens in a "fresh" model too.No modifications on the contour ,only to load values.

I tried that .It also leads to the error warning , and worse, it creates another contour load , so you end up with 2 contour loads applied to the same panel. It also happens the same way on Robot 2013

What does mean " only for the indicated one"??is it equal to "only for the selected panel" Anyway , If I edit the load values and " indicate" the panel using the load pointer ,it creates a second 3pload over the panel. If I indicate the panel by selecting it , it substitutes de old load for the new one . In both cases I get the error warning for the "new" load.File is attached.

Artur,
yes it works now , Thanks!!!
But ,to the wish list,
Shouldn´t it be working without these " tricks"??
1 - When I click load properties , the window shows exactly what I set for that load.Projection (which I didn´t touch) was "along Z axis" and it worked when I 1st created the load .Even It I don´t edit anything , but click "add" and then " for objects in the loada list" ,it will give the warning.
2 - Also , If I edit the load the way you recommended , it will work fine But if I need to edit it again ,it will not keep the "perpendicular to contour" setting and will give the warning again.

I have used the file you send to find out what is wrong and
1. Find the solution for you
2. Indicate the development team what to investigate
The direction of the laod projection should be kept as originally defined - this is the part of the 2nd point above

Great , thx!
probably they didn´t notice it because for horizontal slabs, the edition works with no " tricks" ,because the load projection is really along Z axis.
