Applying lateral line loads over a beams or columns under Wind load case

Applying lateral line loads over beams or columns under Wind load case.

Can we apply line loads over beams or columns under the Wind load case? Attached snip for ref.
Since grid A is the outer face of the building we have a roof canopy beyond grid A. I haven't modeled the roof canopy in RAM SS. (Attached hand sketch for ref). I have modeled only a portion of the building. The structure is extended beyond grid C and beyond grids 12 & 17. When Wind blows on the face A grid of columns and beams. I just want to apply line load on beams or columns under the wind load case.

    As noted in the manual and in the Wind Loads [FAQ]*, our wind loads are limited to point loads. It's certainly a valid enhancement request in our backlog.
