A recent tall wall stud design exercise showed the design wind pressure used on the reports page, which was for the default interior wall Zone 4. The only way to design for the wall end Zone 5 is to deselect the automatic assignment of wind load on the file File Folder's Wind Loading tab, manually calculate the effective wind area of the component, determine wind pressure values from appropriate ASCE 7 tables, then manually input values for stud design. A simple Zone selection tab at beginning of inputs would be easier.
