Re: Staad Pro - Warning Out of Plane Loads Applied in PLANE Structure

The use of curved members is the most likely reason. The local Y for these members would be normal to the plane of curvature and so loads in local Y would be out of plane loads. We do not recommend using curved beams anyway, in spite of the fact that it has a superior stiffness matrix, due to several limitations that exists in the current implementation. For details of these limitations, you may refer to the following forum post

So try replacing these curved members by a series of straight segments and it would most likely take care of the warnings. If not, you may upload the file and we can take a look.
