Why are my wall wind zones reported as Zero?

Resolution


In the screenshot below, the Load ribbon > Wind Load group > Wind Wizard... command has defined the Ground level as  -0.5m. Wind is ignored below this value.

If we review the Model ribbon > Levels group > Construction Levels command, the levels in the screenshot below are between -6m and 0m.

The wind load is only applied beginning at the height of -0.5m as defined in the Wind Wizard.

Hence, the Zero locations are where the model falls below the Ground level of -0.5m where wind is ignored.
