On lines parallel to roof slope (which are not NLB), top tracks should break/terminate (splice) at studs which are present more than or equal to 5'-0" away from hallway (as a first step) & there after top tracks should be placed at preferred or max lengths
Try to place the preferred top track lengths as much as possible (for both parallel & perpendicular lines), if we are unable to provide the preferred lengths, then adjust the lengths of top track which are at either ends of the wall lines in entire roof or which are terminating at hallways, such that the remaining top tracks can be placed in preferred top track lengths
Top track splice Location : If top track splice @ web parameter is ticked then, the top track splice should take place at web. If not, then splice the top track at center of stud.
For achieving the preferred top track lengths, we can slightly deviate the splices at stud (web or center) by 2" to 3"
Top track size & gauge will be entered in Line's Top track size & gauge properties in line. If any LB/LBS line which is parallel to roof slope & are in alignment, does not have same track size on either side of hallway then throw a warning
Place top track at rake side in exterior walls only if "Top track @ Rake side" is ticked other wise not needed
If the top tracks are present under roof, on wall lines parallel to roof, then they need to slope as per roof slope.
If there is a line with parapet height entered then no other perpendicular wall top track should overlap with this wall, as this wall will be at separate height
Top tracks should always continue in exterior walls at openings
Top Track Cantilever ???
Place top track at parapet height on lines having parapet value as non 0
