Hi maybe this is simple for you guys, but I want to confirm it's correct as I marked. There are some complicate building shapes, so I just thinking about this maybe helpful. Thanks

This is for Chapter 30 (Components and Cladding), does the same apply to Chapter 28 (MWFRS) too?see link below:

The "Guide to the Use of the Wind Load Provisions of ASCE 7" has an example of a U-shaped building. It notes that L-shaped buildings are not specifically covered by chapter 28 and outside the scope of research for the "pseudo pressures" of chapter 28. It recommends using chapter 27 for L-shaped buildings. Chapter 27 doesn't have special corner wind zones.
