y are lower floor shear walls, z are upper floor shear walls. z wall drag struts are wood trusses, y wall has only collectors the length of the wall. As long as the diaphragm allowable forces are not exceeded, is it necessary to have drag struts for the lower floor walls that extend to outside wall 4?
