Go to Tributary under AEC|BOLT from tree view.

I want to make the tributary Area Factors of C21 and C25 columns 1.1 instead of "1".

Tributary results will be on the safe side by increasing the correction factor, for more conservative approach, increase the correction factor.

I need the "Live Load Reduction" code for this, if this code is not imported, add it from Design Criteria.

Go to Tributary Correction Factors Tab at same spreadsheet.

Set the "Tributary Area Factors" of columns C21 and C25 to 1.1

You can see Reducible Area on this spreadsheet.

Come back to Tributary Analysis Settings and Run Tributary
