I was using the ASCE705W template created by A Tomanovich. When running the MWFRS (Any Ht.)work sheet I was wondering about the roof load outputs. In my example I am getting 4 output results( Roof (zone #1) cond. 1,Roof (zone #1) cond. 2,Roof (zone #2) cond. 1, & Roof (zone #2) cond. 2) The zone is just the distance down the roof relitive the the height but I am not sure what cond.1 and cond.2 are. If you are familiar with this spreadsheet and could explain the cond.1&2 that would be great!

The two conditions appear to be for the two roof pressure coefficients shown in ASCE 7-05 figure 6-6.
