Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyBoundingBox
provide GH with a dummy bounding box
(Overrides LoadBoundingBox.)
Public propertyindexSet
returns true if the position of the load is set via node index
Public propertyIsValid
true if the load is valid
(Inherited from Load.)
Public propertyloadcase
