Site elevation below sea level

They city where I work is below sea level. SkyCiv Wind Load Generator (ASCE 7-22) does not let me work with a negative site elevation. Is it possible for this to be changed?

Hi Jose! The site elevation is used for the calculating the Elevation Factor Ke and also for the elevation chart. To simplify this you can just set it to 0 (Ke =1) and select any wind direction (this one will lead to Kzt=1, or flat topo)
