10% reduction is applied on GCp coefficients, in case of roof angle < 10 degrees, as per ASCE 7-05 Fig. 6-5A, item 5
Use actual sizes, if actual pressures are required, otherwise leave the void sizes blank for pressures at given areas.
Note that Cat. C is used for building <60', otherwise the actual.
