Hi;

Have a situation in the design of shear wall, with a pressure load of the retaining wall on the base. But what's is suprising or i don't understand is Robot distribution of all the surface loads(DL,LL, EP), to equivalent point load for each case of load in the horizontal and vertical direction. Even for the loads like DL that acts veritically, it distributes it equivalent points load in the horizontal direction and vice versa for EP load . How is this possible??
