I have a very large 2 way slab model that was imported from Etabs. I need to find out how to get the uniform live load to be reduced per the IBC, and also be patterned.

I know how to pattern the live load from a new model created from a Template. But how do you set up the Patterned Live Static Load cases from an imported model?
