Load Input Values for Wind and Seismic

It would be nice if the load input page was consistent on the load inputs, service level or ultimate levels. It is confusing to input live/dead/snow loads at the ASD service level loads but then in the same summary you are required to input the wind loads/seismic loads at LRFD or ultimate level loads. I have to constantly double check the output to make sure this is what Weyerhaeuser is wanting us to do on this software. It is very misleading and I imagine it is a common error being performed by engineers who assume everything being input is at the service level, since that is what all other loads are at.
