Using interior load bearing walls as shear walls 1

[Berniedog]

How do you get the diaphragm load to the top of the corridor wall? Top of corridor truss bearing is 10'-0". The ridge of the roof is 23'-5" high. The the heel height of the trusses at the corridor wall is about 13'-5" tall. How does the load in the roof diaphragm get to the top of the shear wall at 10'-0"?

Not intentionally, I think. The battens are screwed to the top chords, so they brace the chords in the weak direction.
