Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
When adding a gravity loads, such as snow, to a sloped member the user has to resolve the load into the appropriate "Transverse" and "Axial" components and apply both.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
It'd be handy to have a third load direction, "Vertical", with the T and A components automatically resolved and applied to the member.
**Additional context**
Taking it a step further, perhaps there could be 4 load types: x-local, y-local, X-global & Y-global. Or "Axial", "Transverse", "Horizontal" & "Vertical" if you prefer.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. First locate the existing Axial and Transverse load handling in the VBA library, then trace how member loads are resolved; done means a Vertical direction automatically resolves and applies the appropriate components.
