Create > Draw Loads > Self Weights prompts you with the following dialog.  

 

 

 

It allows you to define how the program computes self weights for all elements in the model.  You must select a load case to which self weights belong.  The self weights may act in the global X, Y, or Z direction.  By default, self weights act in the global Y direction.  You may specify a self weight multiplier (applied to material densities).  A zero multiplier ignore self weights altogether.
