Provide a complete braced wall design, R602.10, or simplified design, R602.12. Show prescriptive braced wall lines, or provide an engineer's calculation, design and seal. A complete braced wall design using the simplified design requires two bracing units with minimum length of 3' for fully sheathed walls, or 4' without fully sheathed exterior walls at the south wall line.
