# Modifying Loads from the SEL Interface

Reference for which beam load types can be added or modified manually from the ENERCALC SEL interface.

Once a beam calculation has loaded in the ENERCALC SEL interface, most loads found in the calculation may be manually modified in SEL if desired. The following table provides an overview of the user’s ability to manually modify various aspects of each load type from the SEL interface:

| **Load:**  |              | **Can Add New From SEL?** | **Can Modify Existing From ENERCALC SEL Interface?** |                       |                      |     |
| ---------- | ------------ | ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- | -------------------- | --- |
| **Type:**  | **Hosting:** | **Magnitude?**            | **Location / Extents?**                              | **Add/Remove Cases?** | **Tributary Width?** |     |
|            |              |                           |                                                      |                       |                      |     |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/efr-user-manual/calculation-types/working-with-beam-calculations/beam-loads-16/modifying-loads-from-the-sel-i.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
