Building Corners per ASCE 7
(OP)
What should be considered a building corner per ASCE 7-02? I assume this is for "prominent" building corners only but does this come down to just judgement?

"REGULAR SHAPED BUILDINGS AND OTHER
STRUCTURES. Defining the limits of applicability of
the analytical procedures within the standard is a difficult
process, requiring a balance between the practical
need to use the provisions past the range for which data
has been obtained and restricting use of the provisions
past the range of realistic application. Wind load provisions are based primarily on wind-tunnel tests on shapes shown in Figures 6-6 through 6-17."
