I have 2x12 rafters that will be cut on the end to meet up with 2x8 fascia. When running shear wall do I need to run solid piece past top plate to bottom of cut 2x12 or can I run to top of top plate and fill in area around rafters later?
Your rafters are a 2x12 with a birdsmouth, sitting directly on the top plate? My local inspectors are fine with shearing 3/4” down from top of plate and just slapping filler rectangles on the bird blocks if they finish out exposed
The plans I am working off of are pretty generic. We're done by a draftsman and signed off by architect. But seems he copy pasted most stuff from other projects so what I have is not site specific unfortunately.
Cool?
Were you able to help?
All you wrote is that you have a question, but no question.

Help how bro you gave no context what are we supposed to say. Yes?
You should have a top of wall/rafters tie-in detail from the engineer.
Did you look at that?
