For shearwalls on the end of pitched roofs below gable end trusses , do you consider the height the full pitch?

Hey Guys,

so basically my question is the above. Do you consider the height of the shearwall the full height of the pitch? Or just up to the gable end? Can be difficult to get the aspect ratio to work if you go up to the full pitch.

Is it a vaulted ceiling?

@XR250 No it will be trusses with flat ceiling

I use the ceiling height but include the OT and shear contribution from the gable end. Similar to a 2-story building
