ASCE 7 Minimum Wind Load Application

ASCE 7 (10, 16, and 22 versions) section 27.1.5 specifies a minimum wind load on the entire building projected area (see commentary). This should be applied as a separate load case. RAM Frame treats this as individual floors shall not receive less than 16-psf. There should be an option/setting to use the worst-case of 16-psf or the calculated pressures, which may be less than 16-psf on some levels. This would better align with ASCE 7.
