# StructuralPointActionFree

## Free point load

The Free point load is related to slabs. The load is not defined by the entity it acts on, but by a specific load point. Free loads are defined by means of "loading entities" that may overlap or affect one or more slabs.

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://gitbook.saf.guide/loads/structuralpointactionfree.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
