Note:For Self weight multiplier will be 1 for beams and columns of deadload. For all other loads, it will be zero.

Assigning the Loads:

Activate left window and set to Plan view Activate or select similarstorey option (at bottom) and select all slabs

From Main menu Assign

Shell / Area loads Uniform Load case name =SDL

Uniform loadLoad = 1.50 Kn/m2 (units Kn.m)
