Truss blocking requirements

[bnymbill]

Hello,

I'm looking for clarification on R602.10.8.2, Connections to roof framing (2015 IRC), specifically where it says, "Blocking shall not be required over openings in continuously sheathed braced wall lines."

Does this mean no blocking is required between trusses that fall over window/door openings? I haven't been able to find a visual/illustration of what this means, so figured I'd ask.

Yes because the header acts like a rim

Ahh, thank you - makes sense with that tidbit!
