# Linear Loads

How to modify hosted and non-hosted linear loads from the ENERCALC SEL interface and return them to Revit.

Linear loads (either hosted or non-hosted) may be modified from the SEL interface without any restrictions. Any changes to magnitude, location, cases, etc. will be automatically translated directly to the Revit model when the “Save and Close” operation is completed. Note that modifying the “Tributary Width” property of the linear load will cause the calculated equivalent linear load magnitude to be stored in the Revit model. It will not result in creation of an actual area load. Note also that in situations where a multi-span load has been interpolated across a support location, modification of the load properties will necessitate the load being returned to Revit as individual loads on the respective spans.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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/linear-loads.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.
