Collector Callout

[medeek]

I have a shearwall abutting into a floor and need to have a collector installed (ie. full depth blocking and cont. strap). What would be a typical call out for this? Strangely I've never had to call one of these out before, I've usually had interior shearwalls with drag trusses, but this time I've got a lower shearwall that is perp. to the floor trusses and there is no connecting diaphragm directly above it.

I'd just cut the sections and detail what you need. Avoid "collector" term.
Over-detail the conditions the framers aren't used to.
