I want to apply a roof load by using an area element so it will be distributed to the supporting elements automatically with the tributary area corresponding to each element, but something is not right. All the modifiers of the area element are zero because I just need to apply the roof load to that area. What am I doing wrong? What is the correct procedure to apply a roof load and that it will be dsitributed automatically by their tribuary area.

Thanks for the help
