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

For interior reentrant, wind separation is far from happening, so no need for zone 5 (or 3 for the roof). See Figure C30.3-2, ASCE7-22 and read the commentary, it is explains and summarizes it nicely. Same Figure in ASCE 7-16 too.

Can't say if the 9 feet is correct because the building dimensions are needed.

I believe those are "a" not "9"
