I'd like to echo and add to Andrew's illustration:

I've used this approach often to make wraparound zones/shells in the
past.  

Something to note is that Andrew has a vertex highlighted in the
screenshot below which I learned can be a time-saver, so is important to
think about when preparing your CAD reference.  Try to make a point to
define a vertex at each corner of the "donut hole," even if you don't
need to to make the shape.  This will create a separate
partition/exterior wall where the two "face-to-face" partitions exist,
so that you can easily modify (or delete) them later in detailed as may
be necessary.

You can fake a donut zone though.  The vertices just need to be "close".
The picture I attached shows this a little exaggerated.

You can not make a "Doughnut" zone.  you will need to separate the
perimeter zone into two or more zones.  Using the "Core/Shell Zoning
pattern that is available in the wizard works well.

I am creating a 20 floor building and the core is defined. i am trying
to create the zones within the core and the large single zone
surrounding the core. I am unable to create 1 single zone surrounding
the core because the wizard does not allow you to select the same vertex
twice in a single zone. Is there anyway around this
